The remains of Founding President Sam Nujoma arrived at Heroes’ Acre, where thousands of mourners, government officials, and foreign dignitaries gathered for his final farewell.

The Navy formed an honorary guard along the Heroes’ Acre driveway, while an estimated 3,000 people were already seated, with more still arriving.
