Sam Nujoma, the revered leader of Namibia's independence movement, was laid to rest at Heroes' Acre in Windhoek, attended by numerous African dignitaries. His death on February 8, at age 95, initiated a month of national tribute.

You were the ultimate statesman,” Mbumba said, adding, “May your legacy become a source of strength as we continue to uphold your command of maintaining unity of purpose.”},{
