New president Nangolo Mbumba this week enthusiastically declared that Namibia will look to northern neighbour Angola on how to set up its own oil and gas industry.
Secretary to Cabinet George Simataa says he and fellow young people working in president Hage Geingob’s private office many years ago were mockingly referred to as “Geingob’s kindergarten”.
“We all would laugh because president Geingob would say, ‘Hurricane Katrina’ has arrived. But he would not allow others to call me ‘Hurricane’. He would say in his particular voice: “Only I can call her ‘Hurricane’ but to you, she is my minister of education, arts and culture,” said Katrina Hanse-Himarwa yesterday from her hospital bed.
