Celebrating my dad
What kind of father has he been and is he being?
I feel lucky to have him for a father because he has always been open-minded. If you are able to back up what you have to say he is willing to listen. As busy as he is, when I really need him, he has always been there. As I look back now, I see how much he has shaped who I am. I am a huge sports and news junkie (back in the Nineties you watched what your parents watched!), my chosen profession, I think, is directly linked to growing up with a dad whose life purpose is service to nation and the Namibian people.
What is your wish for him on his birthday?
I hope he takes time on his birthday to just relax and enjoy being pampered on his birthday… spend a little quality time with the Missus.
How do you feel about sharing him with the nation?
I don’t know what it’s like to NOT share my dad with the nation; it’s really all I’ve ever known. But when people reach out to me to tell me what a great leader he is, how he inspires them, how he is a unifier, it is a worthy sacrifice.
