The Namibian Prime Minister has approved Friday as a free day for all government workers. This decision allows staff to attend the memorial event for Sam Nujoma at Independence Stadium. Sam Nujoma was the first president of Namibia when it became an independent country.
Cabinet Secretary George Simataa shared this news through an official message on Thursday. The message said that February 28, 2025, will be a holiday for government workers. The only exception is for workers who handle emergencies or provide important services.
The main reason for this holiday is to help government employees attend the ceremony and show respect. All schools across Namibia will also close on Friday. This lets students and teachers take part in the national mourning activities.
