President Hage Geingob left for Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, where he will join other African leaders for the 36th Ordinary Session of the African Union Summit.

President Geingob commended the Miss Namibia Organization for the mentorship and for instilling patriotism among the youth.

He is particularly proud that the contestants pursue causes in the communities even before entering the competition.

President Hage Geingob has stated that his remark about the construction of makeshift structures at schools was not a directive, but rather an example he had previously shared with a specific school.

President Hage Geingob has described Hilde Kapitaholo Amunyela Shimweetheleni, a veteran of the liberation struggle, as a fearless woman and unwavering revolutionary.

The late Shimwetheleni was buried at the Omungulu-gwombashe memorial site in the Omusati Region.

President Hage Geingob says he is dismayed with reports of some learners being taught under trees while waiting on the government to construct additional classrooms.

President Hage Geingob opened the first Cabinet meeting for the year, reminding the Executive not to put personal interests above service delivery and to refrain from working in isolation from public needs.

President Hage Geingob says he is deeply disturbed by allegations that the Central Procurement Board of Namibia may not have awarded tenders to bidders with the lowest substantially qualifying bids as required under section 55 of the Public Procurement Act.

President Hage Geingob said SADC is closely monitoring the situation in Eswatini ahead of the Troika summit.

President Hage Geingob says Namibia and several other African countries remain neutral in the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict and will continue to call for de-escalation.

SADC has called on the Kingdom of Eswatini to swiftly, transparently and comprehensively investigate the killing of human rights lawyer and political activist, Thulani Rudolf Maseko.

Maseko was gunned down outside his home in Eswatini's capital, Mbabane on Saturday.
