Former Namibia First Lady Monica Geingos has broken silence following the death of her husband, Hage Geingob.
In her X official account, Geingos on Wednesday posted a photo of her with the late President with a message.
"I still have no words. Rest in power, ou Hageba kai axaba," reads the caption.
Ex-President Geingob passed away on February 4, 2024, at Lady Pohamba Hospital.
Geingos got married to the late President on February 14, 2015.
Today was to be their ninth anniversary.
According to New Era news, the two had been close years before tying the knot in a private ceremony in the capital, Windhoek.
"They said they have been best of friends for many years, but neither of them could pinpoint when the love bug bit, only saying they always felt comfortable and at ease when in each other’s presence," reads New Era.
The 82-year-old leader, surrounded by his wife, Madame Monica Geingos, and children, succumbed to his battle with cancer at approximately 12:04 am.
The then Vice President Nangolo Mbumba (now President), delivering the somber news, expressed deep regret, stating, "It is with utmost sadness that I inform you that our beloved Dr. Hage G. Geingob has passed on. Despite the tireless efforts of his medical team, President Geingob, sadly, did not recover."
Geingob returned from the United States of America on January 31, 2024, following a two-day novel treatment for cancerous cells.
He had courageously disclosed his diagnosis to the public just a month ago.
Having assumed office in 2015, Geingob was in his second and final term, serving as the chief architect of Namibia's Constitution and a pivotal figure in the liberation struggle.
