People came together at Okongo in the Ohangwena region on Sunday to mark Cassinga Day, remembering what happened on May 4, 1978. Those who lived through the bombing of a Swapo refugee camp in Angola shared stories about the South African air attack. Swapo Women's Council secretary Fransina Kahungu spoke about how the day brings back memories of when South African forces killed many women and children at Cassinga in Angola. She talked about how they honor those who died during that awful attack.
The event follows President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah's Saturday night speech, in which she asked Namibians to stay united behind her government. She called on citizens to support the eighth Swapo administration as they work toward economic freedom for all Namibians. The president wants people to help carry out the 2024 Swapo election promises over the next five years. She believes Namibians should hold on to values like discipline, shared purpose, strength, and love for their country. Nandi-Ndaitwah promised her government would make life better for everyone across the nation.
