Sophia Shaningwa from the Swapo party shared special memories about Sam Nujoma in his village, Etunda. She remembered meeting him last October when he asked her to keep the party safe. He wanted people to stay together because some others wanted the Swapo to lose their power. She promised to do what he said and help bring all Namibian people together.
Ms Shaningwa talked about how everyone misses Mr Nujoma. She said he helped make life better for many people. Under his leadership, the country built new schools, brought water to homes, ensured people had electricity, and helped sick people. When he became president in 1990, he made new rules to help heal the country from old hurts.
She wanted to say something special to the soldiers who fought with Mr Nujoma and kept him safe during hard times. She felt sad for his wife, Mrs Kovambo Nujoma, and his family. She said all of Namibia shares their sadness because Mr Nujoma meant a lot to everyone in the country.
