I wish to thank the Prime Ministers of Canada and Jamaica, as well as the Secretary General of the United Nations for organizing this important high-level event.

Greetings from Africa and Namibia in particular. Africa is on the march. At present, the Third Wave African leaders are dealing with processes, systems and institutions. However, the challenges of realizing the potential of the New Africa have never been greater.

Our President, Comrade Geingob delivered a highly inspiring message to the rank and file of the SWAPO Party in order to mobilize supporters and sympathizers to campaign hard for an overwhelming majority of votes for the forthcoming elections.

Good Afternoon Fellow Namibians,

Since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic in our country in March this year, I have addressed the Namibian people through live Media Conferences in order to share information on major developments in our response and preparedness to the pandemic. The last time I addressed the Nation on our COVID-19 National Response Measures, was on 17 September 2020, the date that also marked the lapse of the State of Emergency, which I had declared six months earlier in March. Subsequent to that address, the Minister of Health and Social Services issued directives on Public Health COVID-19 General Regulations under the provisions of the Public and Environmental Health Act of 2015. These Regulations were in force from 23 September and are due to lapse at midnight, tonight, 21 October 2020.
