Dr. Hage Geingob, President of Namibia. His loss creates an immense void not only for his biological family but also for his country and the entire African continent. I extend my most sincere and affectionate thoughts to my dear sister, Monica Geingob, First Lady of Namibia and Chairperson of the Organization of African First Ladies for Development, while sharing my compassion with the grieving family," can be read on the Twitter account of Denise Nyakeru Tshisekedi.
