The late Founding President, Dr. Sam Nujoma, shared a profound connection with the Terrace Bay resort in the Skeleton Coast Park.
The late Dr. Nujoma's last visit to Terrace Bay was in 2021, a place where he would indulge in one of his greatest passions, fishing.
Namibia is today marking the first anniversary of the death of Founding President Sam Nujoma, with tributes recognising his contributions not only as a visionary leader but also as the Father of the Nation.
The Ministry of Information and Communication Technology (MICT) is requesting that the general public share all material produced with regards to the passing and honouring of Founding President Sam Nujoma, including condolences.
The death of Namibia's Founding President, Sam Nujoma, marked the end of the leaders or founders of the liberation movements that led struggles to break free from colonial oppression.
The history of Southern Africa in the 20th century was dominated by the rise of apartheid colonialism.
Namibia celebrated its independence in 1990, for which its people waited for decades following a protracted war against the colonial South African occupation.
The close bond between Dr. Sam Nujoma, leader of SWAPO, and Oliver Tambo, leader of the ANC, during their exile years in the 1960s, established a solid foundation for relations between Namibia and South Africa liberation movements, strengthened by the mutual respect and trust they shared.
Community members living in and around the town of Nkurenkuru, in the Kavango West Region, met at the Nkurenkuru Expo Hall to watch the live screening of the Founding President's funeral.
The screening was organised by MICT, Kavango West.
The solemn procession carrying the remains of Namibia's Founding President passed through historically significant areas, including the Old Location, where the struggle for liberation began.
As the nation bid farewell to its Founding President, Namibians from all walks of life came together to pay their final respects.
A moment of silence was observed at the Sam Nujoma Drive, in front of the Ministry of Defence and Veteran Affairs, to honor the late founding president.
