Hage Geingob, the president of Namibia, passed away at a Windhoek hospital while undergoing medical care. Early on Sunday morning, Vice-President Nangolo Mbumba declared that Mr. Geingob had passed away.
Hage Geingob cause of death
The exact cause of his death was not given. The public was informed last month that the 82-year-old leader had received a cancer diagnosis. In 2014, he disclosed that he had overcome prostate cancer, and he had an aortic surgery the previous year.
His administration declared that on February 2, he would return to Namibia after receiving treatment in the United States.
Hage Geingob obituary information
Hage’s obituary information is currently not acccessible. Prior to taking office as president in 2015, Mr. Geingob held a number of important political posts since the country’s independence in 1990.
Mr. Geingob was a tall, powerful man who had been a member of the Swapo party for a long time. He had a deep, gravelly voice. It spearheaded the opposition to South Africa’s apartheid regime, which had essentially taken over the nation then known as South West Africa and imposed a system of legalized racism that barred Black people from positions of political and economic authority.
For 27 years, Mr. Geingob was living in exile, traveling to Botswana, the US, and the UK to get his doctorate in politics. In 1989, one year before Namibia attained independence, he returned to the country.
