Late Head Of State described as “people’s President”

President Hage Geingob is described by many as the people’s president.

He was a very sociable person and did not shy away from visiting popular hangout spots to meet and speak to the youth like he did on many occasions.

The nbc News team caught up with the owner of Bix Car Wash, Bix Kambala, a popular hangout spot in Katutura.

Bix Car Wash is one of the recent spots Dr. Geingob visited to watch a football match of Ohangwena-based Premier League team Chula Chula. 

He describes the president’s surprise visit as a surreal moment. 

Bix Carwash now has what they dubbed a Geingob corner with framed pictures of his visit and media comments.

Kambala explained to nbc News how the late president’s visit boosted his business and influence.

In 2022, the late Dr. Geingob made a surprise visit to Rosy’s Bar in Tsumeb, where he engaged with young people.

Early in 2023, he joined soccer fans to watch the Liverpool game, a team he supported at a local hanging spot in Tsumeb.
