Founding president Sam Nujoma has been admitted to a private hospital in Windhoek.
The Namibian understands that high-ranking government officials were this week told that Namibia’s founding president was in a critical condition.
His personal doctor, Tshali Ithete, did not respond to questions sent to him on Thursday regarding Nujoma’s hospitalisation. Nujoma’s son, Utoni, was not reachable for comment.
The founding president was also hospitalised last July.
Following his hospitalisation last year, the Office of the President thanked Namibians for their continued support and empathy towards Nujoma.
“He is recuperating very well and we are satisfied with his recovery progress,” the Office of the President said at the time.
