PRESIDENT Hage Geingob yesterday admitted contravening the lockdown regulations when the Swapo Party held a birthday celebration in April at parliament in Windhoek.
Geingob said the party admitted guilt and not being on the right side of the law, and was consequently punished.
Don't fight the police," he said and added that the Ndilimani cultural troupe was not at the party as previously reported.
Initially the ruling party denied holding a birthday party, a move which was heavily criticised by the public.
Ndeitunga yesterday confirmed to The Namibian the party paid a N$2 000 fine.
