In a statement, the President recalled Reverend Jackson's support for Namibia's liberation struggle during the years when SWAPO was leading the fight for independence.

That solidarity, she says, extended during difficult times, will always be remembered with gratitude by Namibians.The President extended condolences to Jackson's family, the civil rights movement in the US, and the American people during this time of mourning.
