It was a historic moment in Namibia.

For the first time in its history, a woman is about to take the mantle of leadership.

Indeed, this latest milestone stands as a testament to the resilience of the female folks, particularly in Africa.

Now, women have emerged to leaders and trust us, there is no sign of slowing down.

Back to Namibia.

It all happened last week.

In a contentious elections, the ruling SWAPO party secured victory marking history as Vice-President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah emerged the country’s first female president.

The results, however, remain disputed by the main opposition.

The Electoral Commission of Namibia (ECN) announced that Nandi-Ndaitwah, 72, captured just over 57% of the votes.

Meanwhile, her closest rival, Panduleni Itula of the Independent Patriots for Change (IPC), garnered 25.5%.

Despite the outcome, the IPC has rejected the results, citing irregularities and logistical challenges during the voting process.

Nandi-Ndaitwah, a long-serving SWAPO figure, takes the reins of the resource-rich nation, which has been under SWAPO’s rule since its independence in 1990.

Her leadership signals a new chapter as she becomes one of the few women leaders on the African continent.
