Geingob took the opportunity to convey his gratitude towards the parents of the Paralympians for the role they have played in ensuring they become athletes of note.
Additionally, Geingob thanked the Paralympians for their brilliant performances at the Tokyo Paralympic and for flying the flag of the Land of the Brave high.
