Namibia’s President Hifikepunye Pohamba says Christmas is a time for generosity and good tidings.
In a statement to Namibia Press Agency NAMPA)yesterday, the president said Christmas is a time for families, friends and communities to come together and share in the spirit of togetherness and to celebrate the common values that holds the social fabric together.
President Pohamba also said that Christmas is also a time during which parents, guardians and all adults should continue to teach the youth about the importance of caring for others, sharing with those who are less fortune than themselves, as well as the need to build an ethical society based on the rule of law, tolerance, self-respect and mutual respect.
Mr Pohamba added that adults must continue to inculcate these values in all the young people because that would guarantee a more secure future for Namibia.
The Namibian Head of State wished a speedy recovery to all the citizens who, due to diseases and illness, are confined or bedridden in their homes, in hospitals and in rehabilitation centres.
President Pohamba also paid tribute to the thousands of Namibians who are engaged in essential duties and are, therefore, unable to spend Christmas Day with their families.
He thanked them and commended them for their dedication to the service of the nation and fellow citizens.
