“This banknote will not only commemorate President Geingob’s achievements but will also celebrate Namibia’s progress as a nation shaped by his visionary leadership,” he said.
“The unveiling of the Dr. Hage Gottfried Geingob Commemorative Banknote will undoubtedly be a moment of pride and reflection for all Namibians.”
