David Namalenga, Managing Director and owner of Dinapama, praised the late Founding President Sam Nujoma as a man whose contributions to Namibia's economic development are "unmatched" during a memorial service held in his honor.

Bisey |Uirab, CEO of Namibia Airports Company, stated that even during this time of mourning, the life of the late Founding President Sam Nujoma should be celebrated for the significant impact he had on Namibia.
