Namibia’s President, Hage Geingob has died at the age of 82.
He passed away in hospital in the capital Windhoek. It was announced last month he had cancer – and was undergoing treatment.
Geingob was the nation’s third president following independence in 1990.
While he was well respected across Africa, some say a corruption scandal tainted his legacy.
Al Jazeera’s Fahmida Miller takes a look back at his political career.

South Africa is hurt by the passing of Pres Geingob and may his soul rest in peace and as usual al jazeera when covering about Black or African people their image has to be ever associated with corruption even in times of grief.
Things like this usually happens in 3s, fingers crossed from the U.S
Sad news. A hero in Africa.

After strong public rebuke of Germany on their genocide. Many people will die defending Palestine again the biblical “beast”.
Inspite some of my fellow Namibians didn’t like him,he had feelings too😭. He already found this country in a mess when he took over to rule ,he was criticised, insulted, blamed ,they said high employment rate was is fault. He did what he can for this country , but people don’t appreciate. You fought your battle Sir. May Angel receive you, rest in excellence Mr President.
I agree with you

Al Jazeera is bad news. Even in this sad moment they are bringing in stories of corruptions. Lies, Lies. Al Jazeera people must repent.
RIP H.E Long live Namibia love from Uganda 🇺🇬
From his biography he seems to be an anti indegenes African warmonger and I never heard of him until his death was deciesed. He was may the Namibian indegenes unite at all level party and women groups youth groups and fight for a natural patrioticleader. I this man after hearing him speak all ai hear is traitor being selective with words to conciel contempt or betrayals
I suspect foul play
R I.P from 🇸🇱 much love and respect for the Namibian indegenes and patriots
Rest in peace
U did your best Sir, at least u tried to fix the Namibian Nation, good people they always disappear but may God 🙏🙏 almighty accept in
Loved this man❤.
I remember him coming to Zambia almost every 3 years…
RIP My President .
Loved his stance on Germany’s support for Israel as it was absurd as Germany had committed the 1st genocide in Namibia 🇳🇦. Germany ought to learn from that he said!
82 years is not bad… we need a new leader
NO younger candidates were trained since Independence… That can take the country forward.
The mistake he made was to take treatment in USA.
RIP president of Namibia 🇳🇦, my deepest condolences to the people of the land of the brave😊
We mourn the passing of our great leader, Rest in Peace sir. We will never how upbeat he was evertime he briefed the nation (press conference) every 2nd week during covid. Yes he was not perfect, but he was a great president. He is from a minority tribe (making it 10% of the whole population) but there was no violence for the duration of his reign, not even during elections. Namibians salute you, go well sir.
RIP Dr President 💔🕊🕯🕯
My president 💔
😢sorrows…prayers🙏 we will overcome. We will miss you. Go well
Sincere condolences to the family and entire Namibian nation for the loss.

@@metumomungungu3180 perhaps but I feel like he was the best president we had and he tried very hard to turn things around in a good way, despite what the media will say after words; in person he was a great man 😊
