Swakopmund Mayor greets visitors at roadblock

Namibians are urged to welcome 2023 as Year of Revival and look forward in anticipation to new beginnings and with renewed hope and optimism.

This was said by the Namibian President Hage Geingob in his annual New Year's message. Geingob said as the Namibian people were saying goodbye to 2022, a year which focused on reimaging the local economy, they should also welcome2023withreignitedstrengthinorderfor

them to shape the future towards shared prosperity

Geingobsaid“wehavenavigatedthroughheavy storms,headwindsandroughwatersbutwehave done so with patience, poise and a collective sense of purpose, ensuring that no matter how difficult things seemed, we kept the ship intact, keeping it on course towards the shores of progress and prosperity Although we are rejoicingthefactthatweover-camewhatseemed likeanabsolutecatastropheduringtheCovid-19 outbreakin2021and2022,asenseofmelancholy stilllingersasweremindourselvesofthosewho did not make it through the difficult days of the disease.”
