“We express our heartfelt condolences to Ingrid’s family. The almighty be with you during this difficult time.
“We condemn these violent and senseless acts in the strongest terms,” she said.
Nandi-Ndaitwah called on law-enforcement agencies to bring the culprits to book.
She urged Namibians to celebrate the party’s achievements and resolved to continue the fight for a brighter, fairer, and more just Namibia.
“We must rededicate ourselves to hard work with honesty and integrity,” she said.
Nandi-Ndaitwah also expressed her heartfelt support for the country’s flood victims and commended their cooperation with various emergency stakeholders and the government.
