The Minister of Information and Technology, Emma Theofelus, says the remains of the late President Hage Geingob may not be taken to the regions before the burial due to logistical constraints.

"The committee, after consultation with important stakeholders, decided that the body would not travel and that the memorial service would proceed as planned." 

Theofelus, however, assures the public that efforts are being made to allow citizens from various regions to participate in the farewell ceremonies in Windhoek.

The Speaker of the National Assembly, Professor Peter Katjavivi, has put forth a motion in parliament on Cuba.

Katjavivi's proposal, submitted on Thursday during a meeting with the newly accredited Cuban Ambassador to Namibia, Sergio Vigoa de la Uz, calls for the lifting of the United States embargo on Cuba.

The Cuban diplomat commended Namibia for its unwavering support in calling for the lifting of the embargo.
