Nganate made this remark at the annual Okeseta Commemoration Day.

The annual Namibian Defence Force (NDF) games have become a crucial platform for showcasing the talent, determination, and discipline of military personnel, according to Air Marshal Martin Kambulu Pinehas, Chief of the Defence Force.
