In a moving ceremony, Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro has honored the late Namibian President Hage Geingob by awarding him a posthumous medal, the Sword of the Liberators—the highest distinction in Venezuela. The award, which commemorates exemplary leadership and revolutionary spirit, was received by Nangula Geingos, the eldest daughter of the late President Geingob.
