Kudakwashe Mugari in Windhoek, Namibia
Namibia’s historic moment has finally arrived!
President-elect Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah has taken the oath of office, becoming the country’s first female President.
This milestone marks a transformative chapter in Namibia’s history, coinciding with the nation’s 35th Independence Day.
As President Nandi-Ndaitwah begins her tenure, she’s expected to hit the ground running, with a focus on inclusive development and meritocracy.
Her inauguration ceremony was attended by several Heads of State, including President Mnangagwa, who is also Sadc chairperson, President Hakainde Hichilema of Zambia, and DRC President Felix Tshisikedi.
President Cyril Ramaphosa of South Africa and President Brahim Ghali of the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic are also in attendance.
This momentous occasion is not only significant for Namibia but also for Africa, as President Nandi-Ndaitwah becomes the third woman to serve as executive head of an African government, after Liberia’s President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf and Tanzania’s President Samia Suluhu Hassan.
