Namibian President Hage Geingob has thanked Namibians and other well-wishers around the world after going through a medical procedure in neighbouring South Africa.

His medical team had, during a routine medical check-up, detected mild aortic stenosis – or narrowed heart valve – without any symptoms, the presidency had earlier said.

It said the operation in South Africa had been successful and Mr Geingob “remains fit and healthy” and was due to resume work on Tuesday.

“I thank Namibians, political leaders, comrades and friends from all over the world for the well-wishes following my procedure on 10 June 2023. I am unable to respond to each and every message. Be assured of my sincere gratitude for the uplifting messages throughout this period,” Mr Geingob tweetedon Sunday.
