Making Namibia the only African country with a female President and Vice President.Namibia's President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah presented a cabinet of 14 Ministers, eight of whom are women, and seven deputies.

She expressed confidence in her new administration saying the aim is to tackle poverty and eradicate corruption.

We are now joined on the line by Namibian Journalist, Ester Mbathera,’That actually came as a surprise because nobody actually thought of Lucia a big boy to be appointed in that portfolio because she has not previously served even as a minister.

She wasn't a Deputy Minister before, but now we woke up to her being the Vice President of the country.”
