Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 68965, member: 636"] Outgoing members of the National Council reflected on their parliamentary terms, emphasizing their efforts to pass legislation addressing national needs. Swapo parliamentarian Bethuel Tjaveondja described his tenure as an eye-opening experience and encouraged incoming members to maintain the council's standards. He also urged colleagues to forgive any intense exchanges from debates, clarifying that rigorous discussion was not personal. Other members, including Sakeus Nangula, expressed gratitude for the professional development and guidance received during their service. Sebastiaan !Gobs of the United Democratic Front announced he would not return to the council as he is leaving politics, noting the body's expansion from 26 to 42 members during his time. Council chairperson Lukas Muha remarked that in politics, there is no permanent retirement, highlighting the lasting value of institutional memory. [/QUOTE]
