Have you ever wondered what it feels like to be the driver of the Prime Minister, who at the time was second in charge of government?

nbc News reporter Luqman Cloete located the late President Hage Geingob's former personal driver, Ignatius Aloe Berend (60), who recalled his first encounter with him when he was the country's first Prime Minister. 

He first met the late statesman when he was assigned by his firm, Cohen BMW, to deliver a 7 Series BMW to the Office of the Prime Minister that was purchased for official use.

Berend says that while he was still narrating his encounter with Dr. Geingob to his boss at the time, a phone call came in informing the management that Berend had been appointed to the Office of the Prime Minister.

That is how Berend ended up as a public servant, for which he will be forever grateful. 
 
Following his appointment, Berend received defensive driving training.

As the Prime Minister's personal driver, Berend's responsibilities included picking up and dropping off his child, Nangulo Geingos, at school, taking the Prime Minister's suits to the dry cleaner, and grocery shopping.

He remembered the late Dr. Geingob as a profound model of generosity, selflessness, and humility.
