Namibia Public Holidays Not For Enjoyment

Sources: New Era (Windhoek) and Namibia bank and public holidays (qppstudio.net). Yesterday, at a press conference ahead of the upcoming 4-day weekend, Namibia's SWAPO ruling party Secretary for Information and Publicity, Jerry Ekandjo, castigated those who "opt to spend the [holi]days engaging in socially pleasurable activities", and reminded Namibians that "these are days for remembrance and not for enjoyment".
