WINDHOEK: African leaders previous and current gathered in Namibia on Saturday (Mar 1) to bury the nation’s “founding father” Sam Nujoma, who challenged colonialism and a army occupation by South Africa’s racist white minority authorities.
Dignitaries together with South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, former President Thabo Mbeki and ex-Tanzanian President Jakaya Kikwete attended the funeral of Nujoma, who rose from herding cattle as a boy to guide the sparsely-populated, largely desert southern African nation on March 21, 1990.
“We fought beneath your command, … received the liberation battle, and without end eliminated apartheid colonialism from the face of Namibia,” President Nangolo Mbumba stated in a speech.
