He added that Tanzania will do its level best to supply teachers that will build Swahili capacity in Namibia.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-267043\" src=\"https:\/\/informante.web.na\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Baby-and-Kids-Emporium-728x180px-Indesign.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"728\" height=\"180\" srcset=\"https:\/\/informante.web.na\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Baby-and-Kids-Emporium-728x180px-Indesign.png 728w, https:\/\/informante.web.na\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Baby-and-Kids-Emporium-728x180px-Indesign-300x74.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 728px) 100vw, 728px\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Video: President Hage Geingob and his Tanzanian conterpart, Dr. John Magufuli in bilateral at State House.
