On Friday night, a grand dinner will be held for all 1,000 delegates at a Windhoek hotel. Early on Saturday morning all delegates will march from the NUNW head office in Katutura to the congress venue at the Windhoek College for Education, where the official opening starts at 9h00. President Pohamba will open the congress. Candidates for seven top leadership positions must be elected, including the president, the 2 vice presidents, the secretary general, and his deputy.
