Residents and leaders in the Kavango East region have commended former President Sam Nujoma for his role in initiating the Ndonga Linena Green Scheme in 2003.
Nujoma, often praised as a visionary in agricultural development, played a pivotal role in establishing the scheme, which has since transformed the local economy and improved livelihoods.
Mukwe Constituency Councillor Damian Maghambayi highlighted Nujoma’s efforts in negotiating with the Gciriku Traditional Authority to secure land for the project.
“Nujoma wanted the region and its people to achieve food security and socio-economic development through the green schemes.
He recognised Kavango as a potential food basket for the entire country,” Maghambayi said, emphasising the former President’s connection with the community.
