In a statement, Press Secretary, Dr Alfredo Tjiurimo Hengari said the Head of State went for a colonoscopy and a gastroscopy on January 8, and a follow-up biopsy revealed the presence of cancerous cells.

“….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,” said Hengari.
