Swakopmund, 22 June 2023 – The Government of the Republic of Namibia through the Ministry of Information and Communication Technology today launched the National Symbols Campaign to enhance patriotism by educating Namibians about the importance of the National Symbols.
Speaking at the Launch, the Minister of Information and Communication Technology Honorable Peya Mushelenga said “National symbols worldwide are a powerful representation of countries’ identities, values and aspirations. As Namibians, National symbols remain an essential part of our national heritage and serve as a tangible reminder of our history, struggles, and triumphs through years of our heroic struggle for independence and nationhood. Our national flag is a thread that binds us together as a nation. Our national anthem, coat of arms and other symbols represent the ideals we strive towards, including freedom, unity and equality.”
Furthermore, national symbols create a sense of belonging and pride among citizens and allow us to express our love and devotion to our country. The materials will be translated in all local languages and be distributed across the country.
