The eldest son of late founding president Sam Nujoma, Utoni Nujoma, has expressed gratitude for the support Namibians have shown during what he describes as a difficult time following his father’s death.
Sam Nujoma died on 8 February in Windhoek, after a decline in health.
Utoni Nujoma shared that his father had been battling health issues over the past year, with his condition worsening in the last six months.
“I would like to express my gratitude to the people of Namibia for recognising my father. [He] inspired all who encountered him to live with joy and happiness. His journey is a testament to the power of human resilience and the wisdom that comes with age.
“We are not only mourning our father’s passing but also celebrating his legacy. We extend our appreciation to all who hold him dearly,” Utoni Nujoma said during his father’s memorial service at Eenhana on Friday.
