The Popular Democratic Movement (PDM) Youth League joins the entire nation in mourning the passing of Namibia’s
Founding President, Dr. Sam Shafiishuna Nujoma. His departure marks a significant moment in our country’s
history, as we reflect on his role in the struggle for Namibia’s independence and his contributions to the nation’s
development.
Dr. Nujoma dedicated his life to the liberation of Namibia, leading the country to independence in 1990 and serving as
its first President. His leadership shaped the early years of our Republic and laid the foundation for the democratic
system we have today. Dr. Nujoma dedicated his life to the liberation of Namibia, leading the country to independence
