Sam Nujoma
 THE
President of Namibia, Sam Nujoma, is one of stalwarts of Africa. He
fought for the freedom of his country from the British. He had visited
Delhi a number of times and his latest visit was as president of his
country.
He had been an admirer of
Mahatma Gandhi and during the freedom movement in Africa he followed the
Gandhian methods of satyagrah and achieved the independence of
his country in the same manner as Mahatma Gandhi and his followers had
done. He believed in non-violence and non-cooperation in his fight
against the British rule.
During his short in Delhi,
he met Indian leaders and had talks with them on bilateral issues. This
sketch made during one of his engagements attracted his attention. He
signed it without any hesitation. A big smile was the only remark he
could make.
