Namibia to mourn Castro

The government has declared a three-day mourning period for the late Cuban leader Fidel Castro, starting today.

Castro, Cuba''s long-time revolutionary leader, died at the age of 90 last week.

A memorial service will be held next week Tuesday, 6 December, at the Parliament Gardens that will be addressed by President Hage Geingob, while all flags will fly at half-mast during this period of mourning.

Namibians from all walks of life are invited to join Geingob to pay homage and respect to the Cuban leader who played a major role in the liberation of Namibia from South African apartheid rule.
