SPEECH BY HIS EXCELLENCY DR HAGE G. GEINGOB, ON THE OCCASION OF THE 31ST INDEPENDENCE DAY ANNIVERSARY
STATE HOUSE, WINDHOEK
MARCH 21, 2021
(...), Today, as a nation, we mark 31 years of independence.Today is a day of celebration; it is a day on which we relive a moment in history, which changed our country and our lives forever. It is a day on which we honour the memory of those whose courage and patriotism delivered the promise of freedom. A day on which we memorialize the birth of a country of diverse people, forged as one nation under one flag, one anthem and one common destiny.
As we commemorate our 31st independence anniversary, we appreciate that this milestone occasion is symbolic of our coming of age. As our vibrant democracy matures and transitions into the fourth decade of independence, we stand on the cusp of a new era – a frontier of promise and possibility, firmly anchored in our history.
Together, over three decades, Namibians have forged love out of hate, peace out of conflict and common purpose out of self-interest. We have managed to establish a country in which, as the Founding Father Cde Sam Nujoma said, “… all Namibians, regardless of colour, creed or place of origin, have a place…” This is what we celebrate today. A home for all races and people of different backgrounds. We celebrate the intrinsic values of nationhood and identity. For it is these values that will enable us to withstand the rough seas in order to continue our journey towards our destiny of shared prosperity and sustainable development.
