🟥Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah Becomes Namibia’s First Female President in Landmark Inauguration

Windhoek, Namibia| Namibia made history today as Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah was sworn in as the country’s first female president, a milestone that coincided with the nation’s 35th Independence Day celebrations.

The inauguration, initially set to take place at Independence Stadium, was moved to the State House due to unusually heavy rainfall, yet the spirit of the event remained undampened.

At 72 years old, President Nandi-Ndaitwah assumed office with a vision to drive Namibia forward while honoring the country’s liberation legacy.

Her oath of office was administered by Chief Justice Peter Shivute, with outgoing President Nangolo Mbumba officially handing over power.

The ceremony was attended by a host of African heads of state, including Tanzanian President Samia Suluhu Hassan, South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, and Kenyan President William Ruto, among other dignitaries.

A Historic Victory for Namibia and Africa
Nandi-Ndaitwah, affectionately known as “NNN”, won the November 2024 elections with 58% of the vote, securing the South West Africa People’s Organisation (SWAPO) another term in power. Read More:
