NAMIBIA DECLARES 7 DAYS OF NATIONAL MOURNING

NAMIBIA has declared seven days of national mourning in honour of late first President KENNETH KAUNDA.

Namibian President HAGE GEINGOB says he has learned with sadness of the passing on of Dr. KAUNDA.

President GEINGOB has described Dr. KAUNDA as an outspoken critic of apartheid.

He said First President KAUNDA was a generous, affable and resolute Pan-Africanist who believed that Zambia’s freedom was meaningless if her neighbours were not liberated.

President GEINGOB said Dr. KAUNDA will always be remembered for his principled and unwavering support to liberation movements in Southern Africa, as the leader of one of the Frontline States.

It was in this context that Lusaka became home to the liberation movements and to himself for fourteen years, while in exile.

The National Flag shall behoisted at Half Mast, during this period of mourning.

On behalf of the People and the Government of the Republic of Namibia, President Geingob extends sincere condolences to the family of the late President Kenneth ‘KK’ Kaunda and the fraternal people of ZAMBIA.
