Namibia's President Hage Geingob on Thursday admitted to breaching coronavirus regulations last month by hosting a celebration to mark his party's 60th anniversary and subsequently fining all the guests who attended.
ADMITTED GUILT
"We had a very important occasion of the 60th anniversary of SWAPO," Geingob said on Thursday during a press conference on the country's Covid-19 response.
We had to admit guilt and we were punished, we paid," President Geingob was quoted by The Telegraph.
SWEARING IN
The president said that less than 10 people attended the event, including the Vice President, the Prime Minister and party's Secretary General.
In March President Geingob courted controversy by inviting several African presidents to his swearing-in ceremony, prompting them to breach their own travel bans.
