Swapo is set to have the ceremonial unveiling of founding president Sam Nujoma’s statue of him holding a baby at the party headquarters on Thursday.
Party spokesperson Hilma Nicanor confirmed this on Wednesday.
She said the party will also have a memorial service at the headquarters on Thursday.
“We will be having the unveiling of the founding president’s statue at the Swapo headquarters at 11h00 and a memorial service from 14h00. We are, however, busy putting out an official statement that will outline the details” she said.
The baby in Nujoma’s hands is a survivor of the Cassinga massacre.
The gold-coloured statue was mounted on top of Swapo’s N$730-million headquarters in 2022.
