Intended to be an annual event at the Dr Hage Geingob Centre being established. To keep alive his memory, marked by, if you wish, his immeasurable contribution and sacrifices for Namibia in his illustrious lifetime. The beginning was made in this regard indeed.

Not necessarily with a bang if the content, substance and quality of the contributions by the various panelists on the night is anything to go by. Which, to say the least, shortens my expectations personally.

In view of the fact that in terms of constitutionalism, let alone intellectualism, the panellists awfully fell far short than the late Hage Geingob would have fathomed.
