Ceausescu's Namibian Fan Club

Volume 1 1990

The following text is taken from a telegram by Sam Nujoma, president of SWAPO, to the “Dear Comrade”, the late Romanian dictator Nicolae Ceausescu (translated from an article in “Neuer Weg”, Bucharest, December 6, 1989):
“On the happy occasion of your unanimous re-election to the high office of the General Secretary of the Romanian Communist Party by the 14th Party Congress I have the great pleasure and the great honour to convey to you, in the name of SWAPO’s Central Committee and the fighting and victorious people of Namibia our most heartfelt congratulations together with wishes for new success and happiness.
“Your unanimous re-election during the party congress proves the faith and the firm confidence you and your proven and long standing dynamic leadership enjoy among the broad masses of the people of Romania. Your efficient leadership has resulted in general progress for Romania.
“While you will continue to secure the leadership of the Romanian Communist Party I am convinced that our co-operation will intensify for the well-being of the states and the people of Namibia and Romania.”
