The former chief pilot of Ethiopian Airlines, who flew the flight that brought Founding President Sam Nujoma back to Namibia in 1989, commended President Nangolo Mbumba for a befitting send-off accorded to the late leader.

President Nangolo Mbumba has expressed his gratitude for the overwhelming support from Namibians to accord a final send-off to Founding President Sam Nujoma, who was buried on Saturday.

Namibia celebrated its independence in 1990, for which its people waited for decades following a protracted war against the colonial South African occupation.

The nbc's former Head of News and Current Affairs, Claudie Ikela, says Namibia should take the momentum from Founding President Sam Nujoma's ideologies and reach for greater heights as a nation. 

Ikela was privileged to interact with the late Nujoma on numerous occasions during her career. 

"Some of us look great because we are standing on the shoulders of giants". 

These were the words of nbc Director General Stanley Similo during an interview focused on the broadcaster's extensive coverage of the Founding President's final farewell.
