Namibia is mourning the loss of its Founding President and Father of the Namibian Nation, Sam Nujoma, who passed away last Saturday.

Namibia's Embassy to the USA will hold a memorial service to honour the life and legacy of Founding President Sam Nujoma on the 24th of February.

This was announced by Ambassador Margareth Mensah-Williams, who also extended condolences to the Nujoma family and Namibians at large.

The Executive Director in the Ministry of Home Affairs, Immigration, Safety, and Security says the mutual visa exemption agreement between Namibia and China is strictly applicable to holders of diplomatic and official passports.

The National Heritage Conservation Commission (NHCC) in Zambia has started a process of turning facilities that were used by Dr. Sam Nuyoma during the liberation struggle in Zambia into national monument sites.

Dr. Sam Nujoma was not just a leader; he was the axe that cut through the chains of colonialism and racial oppression, shaping Namibia's path to freedom.

This was the sentiment expressed by Patrick Nandago, Namibia's ambassador to Angola, as he reflected on the passing of the nation's founding president.

A 38-year-old Angolan national was arrested in Windhoek on Friday after it was determined that he was the alleged owner of a parcel containing ecstasy worth N$294,240.

The parcel was shipped to Namibia from Europe in November of last year.

The residents of Noordoewer also petitioned !Haib Minerals (PTY) Ltd and Ferrodrill Namibia for overlooking locals when there are job opportunities.

They demanded the company present a well-defined social responsibility plan for the Noordoewer settlement.

Frustrated Noordoewer residents are accusing the local settlement office, which renders municipal services, of failing to deliver adequate service.

Mourners showed up in large numbers for a candlelight ceremony held in honour of late Founding President Sam Nujoma at the Kavango East Governor's Office, despite the drizzle.

Business leaders paid tribute to Namibia's late leader for his major role in helping to bring Namibia's economy to growth.
