The late President Hage Geingob was preparing to venture into full-time farming after his presidency in 2025.

In December 2022, Dr. Geingob hosted the nbc and MICT production crew for a tour around Farm Hadaloha.

Along the fertile lands of the famous maize triangle is the Geingob family farm, Hadaloha, situated along the road to Tsumeb from Otavi, with an estimated 60 000 hectares of arable land.

Dr. Geingob bought the farm from its German owners right after Namibia's independence, where formal suits would be exchanged with versatile work overalls, fleeces, and hats, ready to work the fields.

Though he was born on a farm in the vicinity in 1941, Dr. Geingob was not very keen on farming at first due to prioritising the duties of the state in every portfolio he served.

During the December holidays, the family granted us all access to different sites on the farm, including the crop fields where Dr. Geingob himself got behind the wheel of the tractor to plough.

Depending on the harvest, President Geingob distributed the crops, particularly maize, to farm workers and other families who reached out to him for assistance.

The same is true for the cattle, but on this particular day, the cattle had gone to other camp sites for water as well as for grazing around the farm.

Farm Hadaloha has a little bit of an interesting history, as it formed part of the battleground between the Ovaherero warriors and German soldiers during the 1904–1908 war of resistance and the fight between Afrikaners and Germans later.

Dr. Geingob had plans for these sites as well as transitioning from being a full-time politician to a full-time farmer.

As a family man, Dr. Geingob and his wife, Monica Geingos, loved spending holidays with their extended families at Hadaloha away from the busy and demanding schedules of State House.
