Community Discontent Over Presidential Inauguration Lockout

Residents of Havana are upset over the relocation of Independence Day celebrations to State House, limiting public attendance due to anticipated heavy rains. Community members expressed their disappointment, feeling excluded from witnessing the inauguration of President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah. An altercation occurred at State House due to entry denials.

Residents of the Havana informal settlement have expressed their dissatisfaction regarding the government’s decision to move the Independence Day celebrations and the inauguration of Namibia’s fifth president to State House. Only a limited number of attendees will be allowed at the event due to expected heavy rains in central Namibia, as announced by the Ministry of Information and Communication Technology.

The community’s disappointment underscores the desire for greater public participation in significant national events. The restrictions imposed due to venue constraints have led to feelings of exclusion among the citizens who wish to partake in celebrating this historic moment in Namibian politics.
