Crowds of mourners gathered across Windhoek as president Hage Geingob's body was transported through the capital in a military procession on Friday.
Mourners sing a hymn in Khoekhoegowab at Parliament Gardens in Windhoek, where the public can pay their respects to president Hage Geingob from Friday evening to Saturday morning.
"He has increased our pension, and during the town hall meetings he was always very patient and took the time to hear all our cries.Citizens captured the events on their phones, and many cried upon seeing the casket. He said Geingob is the first sitting president to die in Namibia, hence Mbumba's decision to start the procession at State House - his last place of work.
Namibians were seen waiting along the designated route, waving the national flag while singing traditional songs.Members of the Namibian Defence Force were seen at street corners assisting members of the public and maintaining order. The procession began at State House and passed along Independence Avenue, Winnie Madikizela-Mandela Road and Windhoek's Central Business District.
