Sam Nujoma, the founding father of Namibia, passed away at 95, leaving behind a legacy of resilience and leadership. Known as the Father of the Nation, Nujoma led the South West Africa People’s Organization (SWAPO) in a decades-long struggle against South African apartheid rule. His tireless efforts culminated in Namibia’s independence in 1990, marking a historic victory for the Namibian people. 

Beyond his role in the liberation struggle, Nujoma was a staunch advocate for pan-Africanism and global solidarity. As Namibia’s first president, he forged alliances with leaders like Fidel Castro and Muammar Gaddafi, championing anti-colonial and non-aligned policies. His vision for a united Africa and his commitment to redress colonial injustices continue to inspire generations.
