In Zambia, where the late President Hage Geingob played his part in Namibia's liberation struggle for nearly two decades, events in his honour have been unfolding over the past week.
A host of his contemporaries continue to eulogise this accomplished pan-Africanist.
Today marks exactly seven days since Namibia was shaken to its foundations with the news of the death of Dr. Hage Geingob, the third president of Namibia.
Sunday, February 4, will be marked with a dark blot in the annals of history as it is the day on which a President of Namibia died while in office.
The Namibian government has announced a change in the dates for the memorial and funeral services for the late President Hage Geingob.
Initially, it was announced that Friday, February 23, and Saturday, February 24, would be the dates for the final memorial and state funeral service, respectively.
The death of President Hage Geingob did not go unnoticed by the Confederation of African Football and its President Dr Patrice Motsepe.
A crisis of children, mostly female, roaming around the streets and malls of the capital, selling wooden goods and begging for coins, has become a concern.
