Africa-Press – Namibia. Former first lady Monica Geingos says she was honoured by president Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah’s invitation to attend a street renaming ceremony in Lusaka, Zambia.
Two roads in the city were recently renamed – one in honour of founding president Sam Nujoma, and another after former president Hage Geingob.
Geingos described Lusaka as her late husband’s second home, saying it shaped his leadership and statesmanship skills.
“As a meeting place of African intellectuals, political luminaries and freedom fighters, president Geingob connected with Africa’s best brains, some of whom followed him to Namibia, proving that ideas and solidarity
transcend borders,” a statement issued on Geingos’ behalf says.
“Ms Geingos was grateful to have extended her heartfelt gratitude to his excellency president Hakainde Hichilema for bestowing this meaningful posthumous honour on president Hage G Geingob.
“She also thanks president Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah for her leadership, and for the invitation to be part of this deeply significant occasion,” the statement reads.
Geingos also met with the first lady of Zambia, Mutinta Hichilema, discussing youth development and empowerment.
