We must draw lessons from Nujoma – Larandja

Windhoek mayor Ndeshihafela Larandja says Namibians should draw lessons from founding president Sam Nujoma.

Larandja was speaking at a memorial service held by the City of Windhoek and the Khomas Regional Council on Sunday.

“We must draw lessons from the life of our departed founding father who had put the interests of the nation above his own. Let us return to the values upon which our nation was founded,” Larandja said.

Larandja said Nujoma believed that society will never be truly free unless the lives of the poor are improved.

“We can only make progress when we are a united nation and not divided by factionalism, tribalism, regionalism and other evils. He has left this mortal world, but his work and his legacy is all around us and will endure forever,” Larandja said.
