Message: [QUOTE="Nehanda, post: 26465, member: 2262"] The final event to honor Sam Nujoma began early Friday. Drums from the Namibian Defence Force played as the national anthem started. Crowds at Independence Stadium waved the national flag, which is blue, yellow, green, white, and red. Everyone took their seats before the ceremony began, including important guests, leaders from other lands, and President Nangolo Mbumba, who led the main group of mourners. The program started with prayers. Former Prime Minister Nahas Angula spoke about the life of President Nujoma. More talks will come from McHenry Venaani, who leads the main group not in power. Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah, the next president, will also speak. Leaders from other countries and President Mbumba plan to share their thoughts as well. People can view the body all night until Saturday morning. [/QUOTE]
