“On this significant day,” President Mbumba said, “we have gathered to pay tribute to and salute those gallant sons and daughters who fought in Namibia\u2019s struggle for independence\u2026 these are the Heroes and Heroines of the Land of the Brave, who have eternally etched their names in the annals of our history.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the President, Namibians, as a free nation, have a patriotic duty to remember those brave men and women who sacrificed greatly for their freedom. “We should never forget those who ensured that we replaced colonial oppression with democracy, that we replaced forced labour with workers’ rights, and racial hatred with reconciliation and nation-building,” he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
