The Secretary to the Cabinet, Dr. George Simataa, confirmed this to nbc News.
Dr. Hamata died last week, aged 78.

President Hage Geingob has conferred a state funeral on the late liberation struggle stalwart, Hilde Kapitaholo Amunyela.
Amunyela died on the 25th of January, aged 89.
President Geingob in his message of condolence said that Amunyela will be remembered for her immense contribution to the liberation struggle of Namibia and her resistance to the apartheid regime.
Amunyela's voluntary contribution to the fight for freedom, Geingob says, subjected her to inhumane treatment by apartheid forces but she remained firm to liberate her motherland.
One of Namibia's liberation icons, the late Viongeka Uazohini Tjisuta, was buried near Ongongo Village in the Opuwo Rural Constituency, Kunene Region.
Tjisuta died aged 74.
Tjisuta was one of the country's liberation stalwarts who remained inside the country and contributed immensely to Namibia's liberation struggle. During the bitter apartheid era, Tjisuta was an active member of PLAN combatants.
In the 1980s, he sustained injuries during a skirmish with enemy forces in the Kombat area, where he was also captured and arrested.
