She said the visit by Cde Nujoma cemented the relationship that started long back.
“We have helped each other dearly and we should keep reminding the young among us of the importance of the relationship between the two countries.”
Cde Mujuru said the country could not neglect the past and Zimbabwe’s past is not complete without mentioning Namibia.
“The two countries should remain united. We should keep the spirit alive,” she said.
Cde Nujoma said it was a great honour to be invited by the Acting President for a family breakfast.
“We discussed farming, the economy and future investments,” he said.
Cde Nujoma urged Zimbabweans to work hard on farms allocated to them if the country is to regain its status as the breadbasket of Africa.
“Zimbabwe needs to be brought back to its glory. When we were moving around, we saw most people busy working in their fields. We are very impressed,” he said.
Cde Nujoma said his country emulated Zimbabwe, not only because of its strong agriculture base, but also because of its vibrant health and education sectors.
“Most of our students study in Zimbabwe and we co-operate in so many areas,” he said.
Cde Nujoma said Namibian experts were also assisting Zimbabwe in the diamond sector.
The two countries worked together in the Democratic Republic of Congo and they always stand together to demonstrate their capacity.
Cde Nujoma said Zimbabwe came under the spotlight because of its successful land reform programme.
“I was happy when President Robert Mugabe told Tony Blair to keep his England while he keeps his Zimbabwe. I believe if Zimbabwe has some problems, she will correct them in her own way,” he said.
Sanctions, said Cde Nujoma, should be removed if Zimbabwe is to realise progress. Bilateral relations between Zimbabwe and Namibia are anchored on the history of the revolution that resulted in the independence of the two countries.
Recently, Namibia supported Zimbabwe in its bid to co-host the United Nations World Tourism Organisation 2013 General Assembly.
