NNN revisits liberation struggle roots at Kongwa camp in Tanzania

President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah on Sunday visited the historic Kongwa military camp in Tanzania, a site that played a pivotal role in Namibia’s liberation struggle.

The visit formed part of her state visit to Tanzania and served as a symbolic return to one of the key centres of southern Africa’s fight against colonialism and apartheid.

“Kongwa was allocated to liberation movements by the Organisation of African Unity Liberation Committee in 1964 and became Swapo’s first major training and operational base,” reads a statement issued on Sunday.
