Dinapama Manufacturing Supplies held a candle lighting event in honour of the late Dr. Hage G. Geingob in Windhoek.

Hundeds of mourners gathered and shared scripture readings and hymns as part of remembering the late Geingob.

In condolence messages, the late president was described as a man with a beautiful soul, the one who cared for the elderly and had transformed the lives of many. 

The Managing Director of Dinapama David Namalenga says that the late Hage Geigob has inspired them to continue, as he has been there since they started Dinapama. 

He says the late president was right there at the establishment of Dinapama.

"He was a unique person, he was reachable, when you call on him, you get him, he was there when we were very small in Wanaheda, in Katutura, he came there, he found us with a small compliment of stuff. They have seen what we were doing, and he worked on a number of things, including development and industrialisation policy, that actually inspired us to act in the manner in which we act, so he supported the idea, and as you all know, Dinapama was born as a result of the closure of Ramatex, and at that time he was a minister of trade and was directly responsible for the establishment of such."

He says that as a country, Namibia should join hands and continue with the spirit of unity, denouncing tribalism.
