My sincere condolences to the resilient nation of Namibia as they mourn the loss of President H.E. Dr. Hage G. Geingob, announced by Vice President Nangolo Mbumba, this Sunday morning. During this sad time as we mourn the loss of a greatly beloved and respected African leader, my thoughts and prayers are especially with my dear sister and friend, H.E. Monica Geingos, and their family.

President Geingob’s lifetime of steadfast dedication to the progress of Namibia, as their first elected leader, longest serving Prime Minister, and a key figure in the development of~ the constitution, has left an enduring legacy of visionary leadership, liberation efforts and unwavering commitment to the betterment of his nation, through an all-of-government egalitarian effort at poverty eradication, leadership transparency, gender equality and economic prosperity resonated not only within Namibia but reverberate across the continent and beyond.

May the everlasting impact of President Geingob’s impeccable integrity be a guiding light, inspiring generations to come. May the grace of God bestow upon his family and the entire nation of Namibia the collective strength, unity and peace as they navigate this profound loss.
