President Hakainde Hichilema joined fellow African leaders on Friday to witness the inauguration of Dr. Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah as Namibia’s fifth president and first female Head of State at State House in Windhoek.
In a statement following the event, President Hichilema extended warm congratulations to President Nandi-Ndaitwah and commended the Namibian people for conducting peaceful elections. He also praised former President Dr. Nangolo Mbumba for ensuring a smooth transition despite the nation’s recent loss of both a sitting president and its founding leader.
“Today’s inauguration coincides with Namibia’s 35th Independence Anniversary, a remarkable milestone that showcases the country’s progress and resilience,” President Hichilema noted. “Zambia and Namibia share a deep-rooted friendship, forged through our support for Namibia’s liberation struggle.”
Following the ceremony, President Hichilema departed Windhoek for Lusaka, expressing gratitude for the prayers and support from Zambians during his visit.
“Happy 35th Independence Anniversary, Namibia,” he said, reaffirming Zambia’s commitment to strengthening bilateral ties with its neighbor.
Let’s hope she’ll sort out the corruption in “Nambia” as Trump called it. We need our ZRA to operate from Walvis bay to ensure safe passage of Zambian goods. Crooks have a tendency to hold back goods on transit to Zambia knowing that our authorities are slow to act. We need a one stop clearing and forwarding system.
I hope she will work and won’t be a disaster like in Zambia, where since 2021 the country has been in free fall
The country was destroyed by your tribesmen starting in 2011, when they borrowed US $33 billion and in keeping with their nature, stole it. Your tribesmen are the ones who sold the father of certain South African the emerald mines of the Lamba people, and now this man has used the wealth gained from Zambian emeralds to return the ideology of the 1930s Germany to the world. You sold other Zambians to the Arabs during the slave trade, and you have done it again in this age. Shut up
Haven’t we had this article before ??
WHY A SECOND TIME
Election time propaganda?
The fact that no one in the opposition has even asked how many airmiles have been used since 2021, August is a sign we don’t have an opposition that seeks checks and balances but rather a reactionary troupe of drunken clowns.
Someone within the party hopefully will step up as we cant have another term of this
The scandal is how much the plane was paid by your relatives. Shut up, mina masholi
As usual, you cause the problems and blame other tribes. Michael Satan is the one who flooded Zambia with the Chinese. Shut up, mina masholi
@Tikki You think this man who waited for 20 years for that seat would allow someone else to take over??
Why is the Chinese National one not opening ??
Political ?? one would assume ??
I thought it was me only.
Me 3!
I thought the Chinese put pressure on LT to withdraw the story as it portrays them as violent gun-totting thugs-kikikikikikiki. In China, with 1.5 billion people there’s hardly any gun crime.
It affects foreign investment.
We’ve been globe trotting for years, inviting foreigners to this “peaceful” land.
Now they don’t want the investors to know that our once-very-peaceful country is quickly turning into junky land.
Everyone knows how the Chinese operate !!
Why not LT give us their version
