The highlight of the party was the handing over of gifts by renowned businesswoman Martha Namundjebo-Tilahun at her late father\u2019s residence in Olunghono village, Ohangwena region.<\/p>\n<p>The event was graced by the Founding President Sam Nujoma, Ohangwena governor Sebastian Ndeitunga and Ohamba Martha Mwadinomho ya Nelumbu of Oukwanyama Traditional Authority, as well as religious, political and other traditional authority as well as community leaders.<\/p>\n<p>Namundjebo-Tilahun said she felt honoured and happy to see all the elderly citizens in good spirits and good health saying they are the \u201cwalking libraries\u201d of communities.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey represent the true essence of knowledge. We really need to honour and appreciate them,\u201d she added. Namundjebo-Tilahun stressed that the elderly are the backbone of the community, and the centre of every child\u2019s upbringing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe community and traditional authorities must be involved in the children\u2019s upbringing, meaning if you see a child getting into danger, you should step in before even asking the child\u2019s parents whether you can intervene,\u201d she noted.<\/p>\n<p>Namundjebo-Tilahun urged all public and private business entities to join hands to raise the children, and be involved in monitoring the upbringing of the children. The elderly were treated to lunch, and given various Christmas hampers to take home.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, as the late Eliakim Namundjebo\u2019s birthday is on 16 December, Namundjebo-Tilahun donated football kits and balls to a team named in honour of her late father.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/namibia\">Namibia<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Namibia.
