President Hage Geingob on Friday denied almost collapsing during the 43rd Southern African Development Community (SADC) ordinary summit in Angola.
This comes after a TikTok video circulating on social media shows the president looking strained during the singing of the SADC anthem.
Geingob, upon his arrival back in Namibia, told the Namibian Broadcasting Corporation he was in no danger of collapsing at the event.
State House press secretary Alfredo Hengari says there was a caption attached to the video, claiming the president collapsed after the singing of the anthem.
“I can tell you that the president successfully chaired the SADC summit,” he says.
The president recently underwent a minor heart procedure in South Africa, but swiftly returned to office.
A week afterwards, Geingob was back in a local hospital for a two-day stay as part of his follow-up treatment.
