A crowd of people gathered at Eenhana Sport Field in the Ohangwena region for founding president Sam Nujoma’s regional memorial service on Friday.
Thomas Mathews (64) said he travelled from Tsumeb in the Oshikoto region two days ago to attend various memorial services.
“I came from Tsumeb and attended the memorial service at Etunda in the Omusati region yesterday. Today, I am here in the Ohangwena region at Eenhana for the service. I will go wherever the memorial services take place to honour my late president,” he said.
Another mourner, Ndiwakalunga Ndeshihafela (65), said: “Sam Nujoma was ours. He paved the way for our independence and liberated our country. We are sitting here free, working because of his great contributions to the independence of this nation.
“We love Nujoma, and may his soul rest in peace.”
