Sam Nujoma, the revered leader who played a pivotal role in Namibia's fight for independence from apartheid South Africa, has died at the age of 95. Nujoma, often referred to as the father of the nation, served as Namibia's first president for 15 years following the country's independence in 1990.
Nujoma's passing was confirmed by current Namibian President Nangolo Mbumba, who announced that Nujoma had succumbed to illness after being hospitalized in Windhoek, Namibia's capital.
