The Senior Command and Staff Course hosted African Heritage Day at the Namibia Command and Staff College in Okahandja over the weekend.

This marks the second commemoration of the day in the military-academic programme's course calendar. 

Chief of the Namibian Defence Force (NDF) Air Marshal Martin Pinehas wants more defence training institutions.

Pinehas made this call as he was officiating the 18th intake of the Junior Staff Course graduation ceremony at Namibia Command and Staff College, in Okahandja.

The Namibia Command and Staff College in Okahandja graduated 28 senior officers from the Namibia Defence Force (NDF), including two allied students from Zambia.

The senior officials graduated from the Senior Command and Staff Course, the highest qualification currently being offered by the college.
