Kudakwashe Mugari in WINDHOEK
Namibian President Nangolo Mbumba has bade farewell to the Cabinet and Parliamentarians ahead of the swearing-in of President-elect Netumbo Nandi Ndaitwah in Windhoek tomorrow.
President Mbumba said he is ready to pass on the baton. He urged the nation to build on the legacy of past leaders and push forward to prosperity.
He reflected on the challenges and triumphs of his 13-month presidency, a period marked by national mourning and resilience.
President Mbumba paid tribute to former President Hage Geingob and founding President Sam Nujoma, who left behind a legacy of leadership and sacrifice
“Despite these painful losses, Namibia stood firm. Our democracy proved its strength and our government remained committed to serving the people,” he noted.
Meanwhile, President-elect Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah has called on Namibians to continue praying for her as she prepares to take on the chores of the high office.
She made the remarks when she attended a service at Onamuti Anglican Church, where she has been a member since her childhood.
“To be a President requires a serious person because all Namibians will look up to me. Running a country is not like campaigning,” she said.
