Late President Hage Geingob’s funeral weekend is expected to invigorate various business sectors, particularly benefiting the hospitality industry with an anticipated surge in visitors to the capital, Windhoek.
Numerous dignitaries and their delegations have been announced to attend the funeral of Geingob, who was accorded national hero status, and will be buried at Heroes’ Acre this weekend.
