After more than five decades, Namibia has laid to rest two liberation heroes who died in captivity on Robben Island, while honouring six others whose remains and legacies have now been brought together at Heroes' Acre.

The reburial of eight liberation struggle veterans is an act of restorative justice and a powerful reminder of the shared history between Namibia and South Africa.

The Speaker of the National Assembly encouraged Namibians to unite and reflect on their history and its impact on society in remembrance of Genocide Day.

Saraa Kuugongelwa-Amadhila made the call during her message of genocide remembrance at the National Assembly.
