The success of Namibian radio lies in its ability to inform citizens, promote local content, and foster national unity.

This was said by President Nangolo Mbumba in a statement to commemorate World Radio Day observed on February 13, which is the anniversary of the creation of UN Radio in 1946.

The Namibian Broadcasting Corporation's Director General, Stanley Similo, commended the late President Geingob for his influence on media freedom during his visit to Casa Rosalia.

Chief Manasse Christian Zeraeua of the Zeraeua Royal House has joined scores of other traditional authority leaders mourning the death of the late President Hage Geingob, saying he will remember him as a Pan-Africanist.

The Ministry of Education, Arts, and Culture issued a directive to all schools to hold memorial services in honour of the late Dr. Geingob. 

Hochland High School was one of those that responded promptly and organised a service on the school field.

The memorial service, which took place at the German Evangelical Lutheran Church, was an opportunity to learn about the late Professor Tötemeyers' personal side.

The professor was an active member of the church, sometimes preaching twice a Sunday up until recently.
