Sam Nujoma, Namibia's first leader, died on Saturday night. He helped free Namibia from people who treated others unfairly, and many people across Africa were sad about his death.
Zimbabwe's President Mnangagwa said Mr. Nujoma was very special. He fought hard to make Namibia a better place for everyone. Zimbabwe and Namibia became close friends because both countries wanted freedom from people who ruled them unfairly.
Mr. Nujoma stayed friends with Zimbabwe when other countries turned away. He helped Zimbabwe when they gave land back to people who lost it long ago. President Mnangagwa said Mr. Nujoma wanted all African countries to make their own choices without anyone telling them what to do.
This makes Namibia extra sad because...

President Mnangagwa wants to stay in charge of Zimbabwe until 2030. People say he gives lots of money to war veterans, who helped Zimbabwe become free many years ago because he wants them to help him stay president.
Mr. Mahiya, who leads the war veterans in Mnangagwa's party, says this money will make their lives better. The president promised to give one and a half million US dollars to each area of Zimbabwe. He also says every war veteran can have their water well at home. Some water drilling machines have started making these wells already.

Mr. Lison Ncube, who leads the Law Society, talked about this at a meeting in Harare. He said some people claim lawyers work with judges and news writers to do dishonest things. Instead of just talking about these problems, the Law Society wants to teach everyone why taking bribes is wrong.
