Traditional Authorities in the Zambezi Region have paid homage to the late President Hage Geingob, describing him as having lived a life worth emulating by current and future generations.

The Masubia, Mayeyi, Mafwe, and Mashi Traditional Authorities say the memories of Dr. Geingob as a freedom fighter and persevering statesman are legacies that need to be honored.

The Masubia Traditional Authority in the Zambezi Region held a demonstration to denounce calls for secessionism in the region.

In a petition addressed to the Zambezi Governor, Masubia Traditional Authority demonstrators outlined that they are not part of what they termed the unconstitutional, hostile, and aggressive activities of those promoting the breakaway of the region from the rest of Namibia.

Masubia Traditional Authority Councillor Richwell Kasale, who read the petition, emphasised that secessionist ideas put a blot on the shining democracy of Namibia.
