The passing of President Hage Geingob is a profound loss for Namibia, as we remember him as a visionary leader and a passionate advocate for sports.

Botswana's President Mokgweetsi Masisi has arrived in Windhoek.

Masisi is on a short visit to Namibia to meet with President Nangolo Mbumba, after which the two Presidents will visit former First Lady Monica Geingos, widow of the late Namibian President, Dr. Hage Geingob, at her residence.

Mourners gathered at the residence of the late President Hage Geingob in Windhoek to convey messages of condolences to widow Monica Geingos and the family at large.

Among the mourners were Founding President Sam Nujoma.

Sports journalist Carlos Kambaekwa highlights that President Hage Geingob was more than just a politician and diplomat; he was also a passionate sports enthusiast.

The Landless People's Movement (LPM) leader Bernardus Swartbooi added his voice to the tributes pouring in for the late President Geingob.

Swartbooi said he had hoped that the late president would recover after his medical treatment, adding that he was shocked at his sudden demise.
