The President of the United Republic of Tanzania Dr. Samia Suluhu Hassan with President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah.
The President of the United Republic of Tanzania Dr. Samia Suluhu Hassan received an invitation to attend the swearing-in ceremony of the new President of Namibia, who is the first President in the history of the Namibian Nation.
President Samia’s speech was particularly important, considering she is the first female president in Tanzania’s history.
“Congratulations to Her Excellency President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah, on being sworn in as the 5th President of the Republic of Namibia. In Tanzania, we fondly address you as Mama SWAPO, a name given to you by our Founding Father, the late Mwalimu Julius Nyerere. You have made history and set the bar high for Africa’s and Namibia’s girl child”, wrote President Samia on the X.
President Samia added, “Your resounding victory is a moment of pride to the continent but more so, to the people of Tanzania, your home during the most part of your prime years. In Tanzania, we are happy to see the daughter we nurtured and raised with love and compassion, has now risen to the highest office of the Republic of Namibia”.
Madam President, your neighbors in Magomeni, Dar es Salaam, are joining all Tanzanians and Namibians in celebrating and wishing you all the best.
Moreover, the inauguration ceremony of Namibia’s new President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah took place on Friday, March 21, 2025.
