The memorial service for the first black mayor of Tsumeb, Susan Nghidinwa, will be held on Wednesday at the Inner City Lutheran congregation in Windhoek.

Nghidinua died last week, aged 85.

The late Nghidinwa served in various capacities, both in the public and private sectors, with some posts served outside of Namibia's borders until her retirement 20 years ago.

She was born in Eenhana 85 years ago and completed her lower and secondary education at Eenhana, Omundaungilo, and Engela.
