Samuel Shafiishuna Nujoma (b. 12 May 1929) is a Namibian revolutionary, anti-apartheid activist, and politician who served as the first President of Namibia from 1990 to 2005. As the founding leader of the South West African People’s Organization (SWAPO), he played a crucial role in Namibia’s struggle for independence from South African rule. Nujoma led both diplomatic efforts and armed resistance, gaining international support for Namibia’s self-determination. After independence in 1990, he guided the country through its early years of nation-building, focusing on reconciliation, economic development, and political stability. Although he stepped down in 2005, Nujoma remains a respected national figure, often referred to as the “Father of the Namibian Nation.”
