Hichilema revealed this during Geingob’s memorial service held on Saturday in Windhoek.<\/p>\n
‘We as the people of Zambia have taken a decision to rename one of our critical roads after President Geingob,’ he said, adding that another road will also be renamed after Nujoma.<\/p>\n
According to Hichilema, this is being done to keep the legacy of those who were pillars of peace and stability for Africa.<\/p>\n
‘Geingob was more of a Zambian than a Namibian because he spent about 17 years in the country,’ said Hichilema.<\/p>\n
The neighbouring country’s president also highlighted President Geingob’s remarkable contribution to the University of Zambia’s academic body of work.<\/p>\n
Hichilema was an undergraduate student when Geingob was a scholar at the university at the time.<\/p>\n
He hailed Geingob as a true Statesman, a leader who was courageous and willing to st
