A Pan-Africanist and Revolutionary leader Bantu Saunders Jumah, has called for the need of new Revolutionaries to fit into the shoes of the departed second generation of Revolutionaries for a true liberated and economic freedom of Africa.
Jumah said on 1st March, 2025 Africa witnessed the lowering of the remains of Namibian liberation struggle icon Sam Nujoma who has followed the faces of Patrice Lumumba, Sekou Toure, Kwame Nkrumah, Robert Mugabe, Samora Machel Isidiore Thomas Sankala, Bantu Steve Biko and Edwardo Mondlane.
He said Very Important Persons (VIPs) sat side by side with everyone to bid farewell to their colleague, friend, liberator, freedom fighter of the second generation of Revolutionaries, Sam Nujoma has gone and has closed the generation that gave independence and freedom of Namibia.
Writing in a statement, Jumah said much in the heart of the departed hero of Namibian nation was not only Namibian freedom and independence but the entire Africa saying in the entire southern African region, it is only Namibia that fly two flags and sing two Anthems, the Namibian Anthem and African Union Anthem.
Jumah said Sam Nujoma was a Comrade, veteran, hero and freedom fighter who really wanted to see a united Africa saying it is in his country where foreigners will not be scrutinized when they are on the roads or streets.
He said it is in Namibia where if one is caught without valid Visas or Passport, they only check whether one has a return ticket or means of going to his or her country and he is set free saying this is a country where undocumented foreigners live in peace, roam around without the harassment by the police.
The Revolutionary said if all African nations could copy the lifestyle and governance of this departed soul -Sam Nujoma, Africa was indeed going to be united soon hence the need for new Revolutionaries to fit into the shoes for a true liberated and economic freedom of Africa.
He said now that Africa has opened eyes realizing that European and American interests in Africa are not for the well-being of Africans but what the nation has, the 3rd generation of Revolutionaries is and must be born.
Jumah said the white settlers of South Africa, Namibia, Zimbabwe and other nations who hold African citizenship are cautioned to start thinking alike that time has come to correct the mistakes and errors committed by the colonial occupiers.
“To South African, Namibian, and Zimbabwean settlers, do not be afraid, let us sit around the table and seek the justice about our land and resources,” said Jumah.
He said the world must know that Africa is going nowhere, its people are part of the world but not of the world claiming that this is the new war of liberation, Africa is pursuing to make its fallen heroes rest in eternity.
He has finally assured the colonizers and colonial occupiers that there will be no peace in the world until Africa and Africans are totally and genuinely free saying the journey continues, and the Revolution is the High way, it is not over until it is over, in a game of pool, one will not win until the Black Ball is sunken.
