 Namibian President Hage Geingob has died at the age of 82.
Geingob died on Sunday at Lady Pohamba Hospital in the capital Windhoek with his wife and his children at his side,acting president Nangolo Mbumba said in a statement posted on Geingob’s official Facebook page.“The Namibian nation has lost a distinguished servant of the people, a liberation struggle icon, the chief architect of our constitution and the pillar of the Namibian house,” Mbumba said.
“At this moment of deepest sorrow, I appeal to the nation to remain calm and collected while the Government attends to all necessary state arrangements, preparations and other protocols. Further announcements in this regard will be made.”
Geingob’s office announced last month that he had begun treatment following the discovery of “cancerous cells” during a routine colonoscopy and gastroscopy.
