Message: [QUOTE="Nehanda, post: 24976, member: 2262"] President Links Media Freedom to Nujoma's Legacy. President Nangolo Mbumba reminded journalists on Sunday that their press freedoms stemmed from Sam Nujoma's fight against colonial rule. He delivered this message at the late founding president's residence after Nujoma's passing on Saturday. "This is the man without whom you would still be under colonialism. Don't forget that," Mbumba told assembled media representatives and family members. The president highlighted Nujoma's transformative leadership during the independence struggle. He noted how Nujoma had transformed ordinary citizens into skilled fighters. "He made ordinary workers—from farm workers to mine workers—train them and make them brilliant soldiers," Mbumba said.
