In a tragic event, Namibia’s President Hage Geingob passed away during the early hours of Sunday at the age of 82, as announced by Vice-President Nangolo Mbumba.
Mbumba stated that President Geingob died while undergoing treatment at a hospital in the Namibian capital, Windhoek, with his wife Madame Monica Geingos and children by his side.
The late Namibian leader had been battling cancer, a condition that was disclosed to the public last month. Initially scheduled to seek medical treatment in the US, he was expected to return to Namibia on February 2.
President Geingob, who assumed office in 2015, was in his second presidential term at the time of his passing.
