Abstract

Namibia's President Hage Geingob, who served as the country's first post-independence prime minister, has died at the age of 82. Geingob spent 27 years in exile fighting against apartheid South Africa's rule of Namibia before returning home in 1989. He played a key role in the transition to democracy and was elected president in 2014. Despite facing allegations of corruption and a severe drought, Geingob won a second term in 2019.
