“The foundations of the Republic of Namibia have been shaken.” | Today a dark cloud hangs over the Namibian sky, as we have learned with great sorrow, the passing of the Founding President of the Republic of Namibia and Founding Father of the Nation, His Excellency Dr. Sam Shafiishuna Nujoma

Announcing this sad news, H.E. President Nangolo Mbumba described the Founding Father as a revered freedom fighter and revolutionary leader.

“Our Founding Father heroically marshalled the Namibian people during the darkest hours of our liberation struggle until the attainment of freedom and independence on the 21st of March 1990. As Founding President, His Excellency, Dr. Sam Nujoma provided maximum leadership to our nation and spared no effort to motivate each and every Namibian to build a country that would stand tall and proud among the nations of the world. In that vein, our venerable leader, Dr. Nujoma did not only blaze the trail to freedom – but he also inspired us to rise to our feet and to become masters of this vast land of our ancestors”, said President Mbumba.

Go well Tatekulu, Son of the Namibian Soil. We salute your bravery and the sacrifices you made so that we may live as a free nation. We are forever indebted to you.

May his soul rest in eternal peace.
