The East African Community-Inter-Parliamentary Union (EAC-IPU) and the federation of East African governments mourn the loss of this remarkable leader and extend their heartfelt condolences and sympathy to the nation of Namibia.
Dr Hage Geingob was a visionary leader who dedicated his life to the betterment of his country and the African continent as a whole. Born on August 3, 1941, in Otjiwarongo, Namibia, he grew up in a time of great political turmoil and racial inequality. These experiences shaped his commitment to social justice and equality, which he carried with him throughout his political career.
Before assuming the presidency, Dr Hage Geingob held various positions of leadership within the Namibian government. He served as the Prime Minister from 1990 to 2002 and then as the Minister of Trade and Industry from 2008 to 2012. His tenure as President began in 2015 and he was re-elected for a second term in 2019. During his time in office, he implemented numerous reforms aimed at promoting economic growth, reducing poverty, and addressing the social challenges faced by the Namibian people.
Under Dr Hage Geingob’s leadership, Namibia experienced significant advancements in various sectors. The country’s economy witnessed steady growth, with increased foreign investment and expanded opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises. His administration also prioritized education and healthcare, investing in infrastructure and implementing policies to improve access and quality of these essential services.
Furthermore, Dr Hage Geingob was a strong advocate for regional integration and cooperation within the East African Community. He actively engaged with fellow East African leaders, working towards a common vision of economic prosperity and stability for the region. His efforts to strengthen regional ties and foster collaboration have had a lasting impact on the East African community.
While the cause of Dr Hage Geingob’s death remains unknown, his passing leaves a void not only in Namibia but also in the hearts of all those who admired his leadership and dedication. His legacy of visionary leadership, commitment to social justice, and unwavering determination to uplift his nation and the African continent will continue to inspire generations to come.
As East Africans mourn the loss of this remarkable leader, they stand united in expressing their support and solidarity with the people of Namibia. In this time of sorrow, it is essential to remember the profound impact Dr Hage Geingob had on his country and the region as a whole.
