President Hage Geingob has confirmed the presence of cancer cells in his body.
In a statement released on Friday, Geingob confirmed that he was due for a colonoscopy and a gastroscopy on 8 January 2024, which were followed up with a biopsy, of which the results revealed cancerous cells.
On the advice of the medical team, President Geingob will undertake appropriate medical treatment to deal with the cancerous cells.
