NUJOMA CUTS COSTS

NAMIBIAN President Sam Nujoma has decided to discontinue the use of official Mercedes Benz limousines for his transport, saying he would now use Chevrolets. The Mercedes Benz limousines will only be used for transporting visiting dignitaries and Heads of State. “I believe that the savings that all of us will collectively make through cost-cutting measures will be properly used for the upliftment of the standard of living of all our people,” he said.
