Speaking to a gathering of around 500 individuals during the launch of the National Symbols Campaign in the Zambezi Region, Theofelus emphasized the significance of embracing Namibia\u2019s unique heritage.<\/p>\n<p>In her address, Theofelus urged Namibians to uphold the principles of unity, respect, and inclusivity. She called on citizens to actively keep the national identity alive as a means of fostering unity within the diverse country. The National Symbols Campaign, an initiative aimed at promoting awareness of Namibia\u2019s national symbols and their significance, plays a pivotal role in this effort.<\/p>\n<p>The event also featured Zambezi Regional Governor Lawrence Sampofu, who echoed Theofelus\u2019s sentiments.
