Special thanks also go to my predecessor, Mr Tom Alweendo, who started this project, just before he left. I am grateful to my Colleagues at Bank of Namibia who worked hard on this project to ensure that we have well secured banknotes which compare with the best in the World, notes that we are proud of.
Director of Ceremonies Your Excellency Our notes do not only contain state of the art security features, but they also honour Namibian heroes. Kaptain Hendrik Witbooi will forever remain one of our martyrs, a hero who fought fearlessly against the occupation of our mother land.
