Today, we replace that symbol with one that stands for inclusion, protection and peace. The renaming of this building to honour chief Kanime is a testament to our commitment to a liberated society.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kamati further said Kanime, who retired in April 2023, was lauded for his unwavering dedication to public service and the safety of Windhoek\u2019s residents.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cChief Kanime\u2019s vision was not just administrative; it was deeply personal. His loyalty to the residents of Windhoek, his commitment to justice and his passion for peace exemplified the values we uphold as a city,\u201d Kamati added.<\/p>\n<p>According to the mayor, the decision to rename the building was formalised by the City Council.<\/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.
