Observers pointed out that Pohamba is following its predecessor – Nujomas – politics. When the victory was clear, he declared that he would serve the people and promote foreign investment in the country.

Despite heavy rainfall, 20,000 people showed up at the open stage in Windhoek to attend to the transfer of power from Nujoma to his faith armor for 40 years, Hifikepunye Pohamba.

For several years, black farmers on communal lands had urged the 4,000 commercial farmers – predominantly white – to embark on land reform to avoid “invasion of lands by the same example as in Zimbabwe “.

The Overberg Fishing Group, which especially caught on the fishing banks in Walvis Bay, declared through its director that the reduction was a “disaster” and was a “disaster for the entire fishing industry”. But the spokeswoman for Namibia’s Fisheries Association, Denise van Bergen, stated that with the existing fish stock, the ministry did not have many other options and that it was “difficult to find a balance between the conservation of the fishing industry and the protection of fishery resources”.

Already in 2003, Parliament passed an anti-corruption law, which anticipated the creation of an Anti-Corruption Commission. It was finally established in February 2006. Pohamba stated that the creation of the Commission was the last step towards “finally settling the guilty of state fraud and theft”.
