Kuugongelwa-Amadhila, said they need to honour Hishongwa&#8217;s heroic act by emulating his deeds, duplicating his character, and applying it to their own lives as patriots driven by something greater than themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Geingob said they need something greater than their place of birth, something greater than their tribe or kin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div

memorial filled with the spirit of inspiration so that when our own day of departure arrives, people will be able to eulogize us as brave, committed, and patriotic Namibians who dedicated our prime years to the advancement of our people and the nation,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He added that Hishongwa is a true son of the Namibian soil and a foundation stone of the Namibian House in which all Namibians live in peace, harmony, equality, and prosperity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Geingob indicated that they will forever salute his bravery, commitment, and patriotism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meanwhile, Secretary-General of the Swapo party, Sophia Shaningwa, said Hishongwa is known by many for his overflowing wisdom, advice, and unifying acumen. The late Hishongwa served the SWAPO Party before and after independence in various capacities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After going into exile in 1964, Shaningwa said Hishongwa was sent by the SWAPO Party to study at the University of Dar es Salaam, majoring in political science and economics, and was subsequently appointed as SWAPO Party Chief Representative in East Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He was later re-deployed to West Africa and appointed as Chief representative of the SWAPO Party there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;When he was sent to study in Germany and later to Czechoslovakia, he was again appointed as Chief Representative of the SWAPO Party to Scandinavian countries, including West Germany, and Austria from 1977 to 1983,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to Shaningwa, Hishongwa was responsible for raising funds for SWAPO at an international platform, mobilization of Namibians in the diaspora in his area of deployment, and lobbying international support for SWAPO, a task he carried out diligently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 1972, late Hishongwa led a delegation of SWAPO Party youth members to Libya, just after Colonel Muammar Gaddafi overthrew the monarchy of Libya and transformed Libya into one of the most progressive governments in Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Libya went on to be a force to be reckoned with, fully supporting the independence of Namibia, availing military, diplomatic and political support to the SWAPO Party in that regard.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Maria David LATE Ambassador Hadino Hishongwa was described as a visionary and a man of wisdom during his memorial service held at Onekwaya West in the Ohangwena Region on Friday.
