The State House has extended a message of gratitude to President Geingob for his exceptional leadership.

In a statement, the State House said that on June 18, 1989, after 27 years in exile fighting for the liberation of Namibia, President Geingob led the first group of senior Swapo freedom fighters back to Namibia.

They would later play a pivotal role in the transition of Namibia to independence in 1990 and the socio-economic development of the Namibian people.

The Presidency commended Dr. Geingob for his steadfast, inclusive, and visionary leadership as chairman of the Constituent Assembly, Founding Prime Minister, and third President of Namibia.

It further said the exemplary and exceptional service of President Geingob in the interest of Namibians shall continue to inspire current and future generations in the Namibian House.
