Faces Of Africa - Dr. Sam Nujoma: Love for the People

Known as the son of Africa, Dr. Sam Nujoma is the former president of Namibia. A revolutionary and an anti- apartheid activist. He was named the 'Leader of the Namibian Revolution' as he was the central figure in the liberation struggle that brought independence to the country and has remained equally central to the policies and practices that have shaped Namibia.

I had the honour of meeting him when I visited Namibia in 2005. The Marcus Garvey group from the University of the West Indies, Mona, Jamaica. We were there for a conference and I've got the photo to prove it! One Love Namibia from Jamaica!

Lies he is still in control of namibia the current head of state is just a mere cosmetic make up president

[@etienneplaatjies6891]

One of the most corrupt leaders africa has ever seen. He enriched himself and his family at the expense of the namibian people. He is a discrace. And due to his bad example corruption has thrived ever since. People have died for independence. Independence we still do not have today. As we are still dependant on south africa 🇿🇦 for everything, from food to electricity. The namibian people has become poorer since independence and the public services has drastically deteriorated.

Viva Dr.Shafiishuna Sam Nuuyoma viva!!!

[@amaanbinauf1862]

The Africans who lived in the grip of the whites during the colonialism had a heart and determination that generations in Africa misses now. This people were determined to have what rightfully belongs to them no matter the situations. They were tortured but they never gave up. Even after Massacres.

Nujoma had so much "love for the people" that he sent young PLAN cadres barefoot and ill-equipped into their certain death in the hands of ruthless Koevoet death squads. And instead of allowing prosecution of the perpetrators after he came to power, he essentially granted them blanket amnesty.

Long live the memories of those who fought and died in The Border War. SADF, SWAPO and PLAN. Apartheid was disgusting. Those who fought for Pretoria were better men then Vorster, Botha and perhaps, De Klerk. President Nujoma is a hero, as are all who fought for SWAPO and in the PLAN.

I am watching all the series on African first presidents and he is the only first president not to fight over power.

[@TomyKlauss]

Mandela also transfered power voluntarily. Actually Nujoma changed the constitution so he could stay longer, something Mandela didn't do.

[@multifaceteddoall]

@@TomyKlauss The constitution of Namibia was changed to allow Nujoma to run for a third five-year term in 1999; this was justified on the grounds that he had not been directly elected for his first term, and the change applied only to Nujoma. He won the 1999 election with 76.8% of the vote. The constitution did not allow Nujoma to run in November 2004 for a fourth term, and there was not much enthusiasm even within SWAPO to change it again. Source: Wikipedia.
