Our nation mourns the loss of our first president, a man who sacrificed so much for our freedom. I believe we should respect the mourning period to truly honour his immense contributions. He envisioned a unified Namibia, where black and white stand together, and that's the legacy we must uphold. The past is behind us; today is a gift, and the future is ours to shape. Let us build the nation he dreamed of, together, as one.

It not only demonstrates respect but also expresses our shared humanity and sympathy. These regulations are appropriate and should be upheld, not excessively, but enough to ensure that the Nujoma family feels supported. As a nation, we should stand in solidarity until the founding father is laid to rest.



Blessing Iyambo

I have mixed feelings about the restrictions. Although I agree that it would be fitting not to host any festivals whilst we are in this mourning period. However, I feel the founding father would have wanted us to rejoice and celebrate his legacy and not necessarily fully restrict events.

As a gesture of respect and humanity, it is only fitting that this protocol has been put in place. It fosters unity and reinforces the solemnity of this mourning period. The late president was not only a leader but also a devoted family man who paved the way for our country’s freedom. The least we can do is honour his legacy with this effort.
