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.

President Masisi is the first foreign Head of State to arrive in Namibia, following the news of the passing of President Geingob.

This also translated into the elevation of bilateral relations between Namibia and Botswana.

||Kharas Governor, Aletha Frederick sends her condolences.

The unexpected death of Namibian President Hage Geingob will not leave a leadership vacuum in the country, as the Constitution clearly stipulates succession when the president becomes incapacitated or dies.

The president was in his second and last term of office, and Namibians were preparing to go to the polls for the Presidential and National elections.

The Constitution clearly stipulates the succession plan once a vacancy occurs.
