00:00Dr. Semmiyoma's loss is truly grateful, not just for us, but also for Africa.

00:29He is one of the last standing leaders who comes from a regime where we can talk about

00:34Nelson Mandela, Kwan Nkrumah, you know, Kenyattas.

00:38He comes from a regime where they were truly revolutionary for Africa and such a loss.

00:46Him being one of the last great standing.

00:58Going on forward from here, I think we should actually just live up to his legacy and uphold

01:07what he has built within the struggles that we have come within, in apatheid and all that

01:17stuff.

01:19But I think we actually should really, really remember him by doing good.

01:34I think there are many criticisms that our leaders have, but I think one important thing

01:38is that he is linked to the liberation of this country, a thing that we value highly.

01:44And I think something that back in the day, in his time, has been shown as something that

01:50really, really drives us as Namibians.

01:53So as they say, aluta kontinua, and sending condolences to the family as we grieve our

02:00elder.
