Zambezi residents joined the rest of the country in remembering the third President of Namibia, Dr. Hage Geingob.

Zambezi Regional Governor, Alufea Sampofu, remembers the late Geingob as a champion of the poor and a people's servant.

Born on a farm near Otavi, the late President Hage Geingob was raised in Otjiwarongo, in what is today known as the Orwetoveni location, where his childhood friends described him as a positive and loving person.

Speaker of the National Assembly, Professor Peter Katjavivi, today paid an emotional and passionate tribute to the late President Hage Geingob when he spoke at the opening of the 9th session of the 7th parliament.

In one of his first official engagements as newly sworn-in President, Dr. Nangolo Mbumba today presided over the official opening of Parliament.

For this, President Mbumba expressed a deep sense of honour in continuing a longstanding practice established since the nation's independence. 

Addressing parliamentarians during the official opening of parliament, President Nangolo Mbumba urged MPs to focus on enacting laws that would enhance economic growth, especially in key sectors such as mining, agriculture, services, and value addition to natural resources.
