Nujoma’s vision must be written down - Namoloh

Ex-PLAN combatant and former Cabinet minister Charles Namoloh has called upon the Sam Nujoma Foundation to spearhead the authoring of books documenting the late founding president&#039;s vision in order to guide the next generation on his vision.Speaking at a memorial service in honour of the late Nujoma at Eenhana in the Ohangwena Region last Friday, Namoloh singled out Nahas Angula, chairperson of the Sam Nujoma Foundation, to ensure Nujoma&#039;s words and contributions across various sectors be recorded in writing.“... we have spoken a lot about Nujoma’s legacy here, but where does it all go? It needs to be written down and taught in schools,” he said. “People only cry when the casket with the remains of the deceased is still on earth. Once the person is buried, they are forgotten,” he added. Great leaders teach Namoloh advised that the foundation should work to ensure the “selected works of Nujoma, his speeches on agriculture, on science and whatever he spoke about, should be put in libraries and then go into schools.”He added: “Currently our libraries are just having foreign research and literature. We should now try and reform our libraries. The foundations must do that; these people are no longer here. We are just praising them.”Namoloh noted that developed countries are guided based on the visions of their ancestors and fallen heroes.“The way some countries got developed is based on the legacy and visions of those who died and were documented. The reason why countries like China are well developed is that those who had a vision of how the country should be shaped were recorded,” Namoloh stated.He emphasised that capturing Nujoma&#039;s legacy, vision, and contributions in books will help the next generation understand how to further develop the country."Nothing comes from mere speeches at funerals alone – we need to document the history.”kenya@nmh-hub.com.na
