People from various church denominations gathered at the Hosianna Evangelical Lutheran Parish in Kuisebmond, Walvis Bay, on Sunday to honour the late Founding President Sam Nujoma.

Prayers and hymns set the tone as those in attendance paid homage to the leader of the People's Liberation Army of Namibia.

The Council of Churches of Namibia (CCN) is hosting a capacity-strengthening workshop aimed at equipping church leaders and civil society organisations to address pressing justice issues. 

Churches and civil society organisations have commended the Namibian government for progress made in the housing area, though there are still other critical areas that need redressing, including the pension scheme of the Social Security Commission.
