SADC chairperson President Mnangagwa has landed at the Hosea Kutako International Airport here for the burial of Namibia’s founding father, Dr Sam Nujoma.
Dr Nujoma, who died at 95 in a Windhoek hospital on February 8, 2025, has been celebrated for his rich legacy at home and across the region.
Namibian Tourism Minister Pohamba Penomwenyo Shifeta, Zimbabwe Ambassador to Namibia Melody Chaurura, Foreign Affairs Minister Professor Amon Murwira, and other senior Government officials welcomed the President.
President Mnangagwa and fellow Heads of State will attend Dr Nujoma’s memorial service at the Independence Stadium today, where the Sadc chairperson is also expected to address.
He will also attend the liberation icon’s burial at Namibia’s National Heroes’ Acre in the capital tomorrow.
Early this week, President Mnangagwa signed the book of condolences for Dr Nujoma at the Namibian Embassy in Harare and said the Pan Africanist had a huge impact in the region.
