There have been allegations that Ramaphosa sought assistance from Geingob to capture the suspects in Namibia and the Namibian president says there is no wrongdoing on his side, according to SABC News.

Geingob says that he has been in contact with at least 14 heads of state since he took up office, including Ramaphosa. He also explained that they normally call each other without going through other channels such as secretariats.

The Namibian president says he is unsure how he may have done anyone a favour considering that a crime happened and there should be a criminal case.

"It’s a criminal case, people came here, some were here illegally and arrested back to South Africa. I don’t know how I have done anybody a favour,” said Geingob.
