President Hage Geingob is calling on Namibians and the citizens of the SADC region at large to nurture and intensify a culture of peace and stability.

Dr Geingob's call comes as the world marks the United Nations International Day of Non-Violence on the 2nd of October.

President Hage Geingob says the presence of women in the line of leadership succession is a demonstration of the strides Namibia and the Swapo Party have made in gender equality.
