As Namibia transitions into a new chapter, we extend our deepest gratitude to outgoing President Nangolo Mbumba for his dedicated service during this time of change. Serving as Namibia’s president following the passing of the late Dr. Hage Geingob, President Mbumba has been a steady hand guiding the nation through a period of transition. His leadership and commitment to peace and stability have ensured that Namibia’s democratic ideals remain strong and unwavering.
Born on 15 August 1941 in Olukonda, Oshikoto Region, Mbumba’s political journey is deeply intertwined with the country’s path to independence and its subsequent growth as a peaceful, democratic nation.
Mbumba’s time as President, though brief, was marked by his calming influence and firm resolve. Under his leadership, Namibia navigated the delicate transition following the loss of the late President Geingob, ensuring the nation’s peace and democratic processes remained intact. His leadership reaffirmed Namibia’s reputation as one of the most stable and peaceful nations in Africa, exemplifying the strength of our nation’s democratic values. The peaceful transfer of power was a testament to Mbumba’s unwavering dedication to the country’s well-being and prosperity.
It is worth noting that President Mbumba has had a longstanding relationship with FlyNamibia. As Vice President, he was present at the rebranding event that marked a significant milestone in the airline’s journey. His support for the airline’s development was a clear reflection of his commitment to advancing Namibia’s infrastructure and economy. The launch of FlyNamibia’s new identity symbolised a step forward in making air travel more accessible to Namibians and visitors alike, an achievement made possible through the leadership of both President Mbumba and the late President Geingob.
FlyNamibia, as a proud symbol of our nation’s progress, is deeply grateful for the steady hand of President Mbumba during this time of transition. His dedication to Namibia and its people has left an indelible mark on the country, and we extend our heartfelt thanks to him for his service. As he hands over the mantle to new leadership, we look forward to continuing the journey he helped shape, driven by the principles of unity, peace, and prosperity that he so strongly championed.
Thank you, President Mbumba, for your leadership, your unwavering commitment, and your dedication to Namibia’s future. We wish you the very best in your future endeavours, knowing that your legacy will live on in the heart of every Namibian.
