Namibia marked 35 years of freedom and liberty and saw the swearing-in and inauguration of the 5th President today. 

Perusing through the archives, the first four Presidents had something in common.

Their distinction is not by character but by their vision for the country and its people.

President Nangolo Mbumba, accompanied by President-elect Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah, inspected the preparations underway at the Independence Stadium ahead of Friday's inauguration and 35th Independence Day celebrations.
