Namibia maintained economic independence under Nujoma – Ekandjo By: Hertha Ekandjo Former minister and member of the cabinet, Jerry Ekandjo, said during Sam Nujoma’s 15-year presidency, Namibia never borrowed from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) or the World Bank. He emphasized that Namibia did not associate itself with the two bodies in any way, stating that Nujoma was determined to ensure the country maintained its economic independence. “Nujoma was a leader who believed in self-reliance. We never had any contact or collaboration with the IMF or World Bank under his leadership,” Ekandjo said. He added that Nujoma championed major development projects without external loans, including the construction of the railway line from Tsumeb to Oshikango. “He initiated the project and personally participated in its construction, alongside Namibians from all walks of life,” Ekandjo noted. Ekandjo recalled Nujoma’s vision of extending the railway from Ondangwa through Oshakati to Cape Fria, urging the incoming government, which takes office on March 21, to realise this dream. Furthermore, he emphasized the need to utilize Namibia’s extensive coastline for fisheries, tourism, and mining industries rather than focusing solely on Walvis Bay. Ekandjo lamented the decline of agricultural projects in regions such as Kavango East and West, which thrived during Nujoma’s presidency. “Those projects are now dead, but during his term, they were vibrant and operational,” he said. He also praised Nujoma’s role in Namibia’s liberation struggle, noting his defiance against South African apartheid-era leaders, including Malan, Strijdom, Verwoerd, and De Klerk. “Nujoma’s leadership led to Namibia’s eventual independence,” Ekandjo explained. Having served as Deputy Minister for five years and as minister for ten years under Nujoma’s administration, Ekandjo expressed his privilege in working under such a determined leader. He urged the incoming government to preserve and build on Nujoma’s legacy.
