Swapo Leader Remembers Nujoma as Formidable Liberation Figure.

Swapo Deputy Secretary General Uahekua Herunga described Sam Nujoma as one of Africa's most feared liberation leaders, maintaining his influence both before and after Namibian independence.

Speaking on Desert FM Sunday following news of Nujoma's death, Herunga emphasized the founding president's role in inspiring multiple generations. "He proved black people could lead themselves toward freedom," Herunga said, noting the profound impact on the Swapo Party.

Despite the loss, Herunga expressed confidence in continuing Nujoma's mission. He pointed to the party's stability in the nearly two decades since Nujoma stepped back from active politics. The organization has maintained its leadership position in Namibian governance, which Herunga attributes to Nujoma's enduring influence.

"He left a feared party. He left a leadership that he inspired. He left a strong party," Herunga said, affirming their commitment to advance Nujoma's vision. The deputy secretary general stressed that Nujoma's legacy remains alive in public consciousness, shaping Namibia's political landscape.
