Nedbank Namibia to Close Branches in Honour of Dr. Sam Nujoma. Nedbank Namibia has announced a temporary closure of its branches and campus locations to pay tribute to the late Founding President and Father of the Namibian Nation, His Excellency Dr. Sam Shafiishuna Nujoma.
The bank will close for a half-day on Friday, 28 February, from 13:00, and will remain closed on Saturday, 1 March, in line with the national directive declaring a public holiday for the memorial and funeral proceedings.
