Namibia has a new president in the shape of Nangolo Mbumba just hours after, as vice-president, he had announced the death of his predecessor. Hage Geingob, 82, died early on Sunday while receiving medical treatment at a hospital in the capital, Windhoek. Mr Mbumba has since been sworn in as Mr Geingob's replacement and will serve in the role until elections due later this year. Paying tribute to his predecessor, he says the nation remains calm and stable owing to the leadership of President Geingob who was the chief architect of the constitution.
