In a somber announcement that has reverberated across the nation, Namibia bids farewell to one of its most esteemed leaders, His Excellency Dr. Hage G. Geingob, President of the Republic of Namibia. Dr. Geingob’s passing on Sunday, the 4th of February 2024, has left the country in mourning, as he transitioned at approximately 00:04 while under the care of his medical team at Lady Pohamba Hospital. Beside him were his devoted wife, Madame Monica Geingos, and his children, sharing in the final moments of a remarkable life.
President Geingob’s departure marks the end of an era. Throughout his tenure, President Geingob stood as a beacon of hope and progress, embodying the spirit of Namibia’s liberation struggle and spearheading the nation’s journey toward prosperity and unity.
H.E. Dr. Nangolo Mbumba, Acting President of the Republic of Namibia, calls upon all Namibians to remain composed and united during this time of grief. The government is diligently attending to all necessary state arrangements, preparations, and protocols, with further announcements expected in due course.
