Founding Namibian President Nujoma Honoured at Military Funeral

"Although we were aware that our father was frail due to his advanced age, and knew about his condition, one is never prepared to hear the sad news of the death of a person who is closer to our hearts. Indeed, for those of us who knew him, who worked alongside him, who counted and relied on him, who were led by him, who learned from him, who loved him, it is unbearable that we will not see him again," wrote the children and grandchildren of Namibia's founding president Sam Nujoma.
