Commemoration must guide actions – Samupwa

Member of parliament and Swapo Central Committee member Austin Samupwa has called for the spirit of Cassinga to guide the nation. He says commemoration must not be reduced to a mere ritual but should demand responsibility from both leaders and citizens. Speaking at the 48th Cassinga Day commemoration at Kamupupu village in the Kavango West region on Monday, under the theme ‘Their blood waters our freedom’, Samupwa urged Namibians to turn remembrance into concrete action.

He cautioned against symbolic ceremonies that fail to address poverty, inequality and poor service delivery. “Commemoration must not be a dry ritual. It must be a call for responsibility,”
