Namibia's President Hage Geingob has died at the age of 82. He was revered as one of the founding fathers of independent Namibia.

He fought for social justice - but he did not always keep his promises. He revealed that he had cancer in January, his wife Monica and his children were at his side. He was accused of embezzling millions of dollars by allegedly instructing government officials to divert funds from a state-owned fishing company. A result of the investigation is pending.
