  • The first president of independent Namibia, Sam Nujoma, has died at the age of 95, the country's current leader has announced.
    Nujoma led the long fight for independence from South Africa in 1990 after helping found Namibia's liberation movement known as the South West Peoples' Organisation (Swapo) in the 1960s.
    After independence, Nujoma became president in 1990 and led the country until 2005.
    Nujoma had been hospitalised over the past three weeks with an illness from which he "could not recover", Namibian President Nangolo Mbumba said.

    I am a Namibian. I am no fan of Swapo, though I did vote for them in the first election with independance. I am sorry the old man passed away. Most of us white Afrikaners have a soft spot for him. We call him Oom Sam. Uncle Sam that is.

    As a Namibian born 4 years before independence, I pay homage to this great man. the stark difference in the quality of life i have and the quality of life my parents had, is testament to his effort in paving the way for our people to pursue their dreams and achieve them. We Thank him for availing his shoulders so that we can stand on it. My children have great life from two working class parents, who took the opportunities of education in courses our parents were forbidden to embark on. Born and lived in Namibia all my life, I have no intentions of moving else where. Thank you Dr. Nujoma, Dr education, and tatekulu goshigwana . R.I.P ..
