The Namibian Defence Force continues to be a beacon of peace and unity and ensures security and stability in the country amidst challenges since 1990.

Defence and Veterans Affairs Minister Frans Kapofi made this remark during the NDF's 34th anniversary celebrations held at the Lieutenant Dimo Hamaambo Garrison at Grootfontein .

Minister Kapofi says the NDF was the first institution to embody the concept of national reconciliation, which brought together former opposing sides to unite and bring about closure and peace.
