Today, Namibia and the world mourn the loss of the country's Founding President Dr. Sam Nujoma.
Nujoma, who was a leader of the Swapo Party, served as the first president of Namibia and two subsequent terms after his long fight for independence during the apartheid regime.
Today marks 35 years since the adoption of the Constitution of Namibia.
The late Founding President Dr. Sam Nujoma led the independent Namibia under the new constitution.
President Nangolo Mbumba paid tribute to the late Founding President, Sam Nujoma, saying that he spared no effort to motivate Namibians from all walks of life to build a country that would stand tall among nations of the world.
With the passing of Dr. Sam Shafiishuna Nujoma on February 8, 2025, Africa bids farewell to its last surviving founding father of the African Union.
President Nangolo Mbumba says that in honouring Namibia's constitutional legacy and entrenching its future, Namibians draw inspiration from Founding President Sam Nujoma, former President Hifikepunye Pohamba, and the late President Hage Geingob.
