The late Dr Sam Nujoma’s eldest child, Unoti Nujoma, who also serves as Namibia’s Minister of Labour, Industrial Relations and Employment Creation, described his father’s legacy, as one of unity- not just within Namibia but across the African continent.
Minister Nujoma shared poignant memories of his father, recounting how he was just eight years old when Dr Nujoma made the life-altering decision to go into exile in 1959.
This decision marked the beginning of a decades-long journey toward Namibia’s independence, a path fraught with hardship, but driven by an unyielding commitment to the liberation of his people.
He says his father died 15 minutes before midnight on February 8, surrounded by his family and loved ones.
Dr Nujoma, he says, left a legacy of unity in the country and region, hence the playing of the Namibian and African Union anthems at the ceremony.
“In honoring him, let us remember his legacy of selflessness and the unity he brought among Namibians that had been fragmented by the colonialists” He thanks President Dr Nangolo Mbumba for according his father a State funeral and National Hero Status
Minister Nujoma also thanks countries and organizations that gave Dr Nujoma all forms of support leading to Namibia’s liberation.
