	Sam Nujoma - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Nujoma was born in the north of the country, in Ongandjera, Ovambo.
		As head of SWAPO, Nujoma was unanimously declared president upon the victory of SWAPO in a United Nations-supervised election in 1989, and was sworn in as president by UN Secretary-General Javier Pérez de Cuéllar on March 21, 1990.
		Nujoma initiated a plan for land reform, in which land would be redistributed from whites (who, despite constituting only a small percentage of the population, own a disproportionately large amount of the nation's farmland) to fls, although the land reform is being done on a more gradual and long-term basis than neighboring Zimbabwe's land reform.

		Nujoma's SWAPO party won three-quarters of the votes in Namibia's last general election five-years ago, and it is likely that SWAPO will maintain or even increase its level of support this time around.

		Nujoma's successor will not be sworn in until March 21st, when Namibia celebrates the 15th anniversary of its independence.

	Nujoma's departure a challenge for SWAPO - analysts (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		He said Nujoma would stand for re-election as SWAPO president at its congress in 2002, meaning he will remain at the helm of the organisation he has led for almost 40 years until 2004, but that a new candidate would be elected in 2003 to contest the country's presidency.
		Turning to the impact Nujoma's decision would have on the region, Tonchi said it was important to note that unlike other southern African leaders who expressed interest in extending their presidencies, Namibia's constitution was changed in 1999 to allow Nujoma a third term only because of a technicality.
		Nujoma's controversial ramblings about homosexuality and other "unwanteds" may have raised eyebrows he said, but "the state has not been used to suppress whites, gays or foreigners" - all of whom have been at the receiving end of Nujoma's wrath in recent years.
