It was one of the highlights of my life. I will always treasure those memories. My heartfelt condolences go out to his widow, Mother of the Namibian Nation, uMama Kovambo Nujoma, their children and the whole of the Namibian Nation. May his great revolutionary soul rest in peace.Xi JinpingPresident of ChinaNujoma was a statesman and revolutionary of the older generation in Africa who made historic contributions in leading the Namibian people in their pursuit of national independence and liberation and a development path suited to the country&#039;s conditions.Harald Hecht Chairperson, Forum of German-Speaking NamibiansThe Forum of German-Speaking Namibians is forever grateful to our Founding Father for his invaluable contribution in securing freedom of speech and expression being entrenched in our Constitution, which paved the way for peaceful cohabitation and the continued cultural diversity in our motherland, including the protection of our mother language, German.
