[Koppervoet - Nama name translated to Dutch]
[Kopervoet - alternative spelling]
* ca. 1790 at Otjikune
+ xx.12.1861 at Okahandja
---
Ua Tjirwe Tjamuaha was a wealthy and famous Ovaherero Chief, born around 1790 in Otjikune as son of Tjirwe ua Mutjise and Tjiputa ua Ngombo. By 1820 he was married to his chief wife Tjorozumo. He lived in the upper reaches of the Swakop River around Okahandja. He moved to Windhoek the following year (<FONT size=2>Tjamuaha settled at Otjipuna (present-day "Pokkiesdraai", named as such because missionary Wilhelm Eich had to return there when smallpox broke out in Windhoek)). He was an associate and tributary of Jonker Afrikaner between 1842 and 1861. He served Jonker Afrikaner by stealing the cattle of fellow Ovaherero for him and placing men at his disposal.<FONT size=2> The two Ovaherero groups under their leaders Oove ua Muhoko Kahitjene and Tjamuaha formed an alliance with Jonker Afrikaner and concluded a peace treaty with him in late December 1842 (Christmas Peace of 1842). In 1844, <FONT size=2>with Jonker’s and his ally Tjamuaha’s approval, many poor and cattleless Ovaherero (Ovatjimba) settled at the Rhenish mission stations Otjikango and later at Otjimbingwe. They formed the core population in these stations. In 1846 Tjamuaha settled at Okahandja after another Ovaherero leader, Oove ua Muhoko Kahitjene, had already settled there, and after Jonker Afrikaner had raided Tjamuaha’s cattle in March. On 12.03.1851, <FONT size=2>Francis Galton arranged for a peace treaty between Jonker Afrikaner and the Ovaherero. Jonker Afrikaner, however, was still determined to prevent the establishment of any relations between European missionaries and Ovaherero chiefs independent of his control. Galton also offered to arrange for a peace treaty between the Ovaherero communities of Oove ua Muhoko Kahitjene, one of Jonker’s former allies, and Chief John Samuel Aron Mungunda from Otjombuindja in the Ozongoto area, but Kahitjene declined the offer. In a subsequent skirmish between Mungunda’s sons and Kahitjene, the latter was killed. The Ovaherero decided that the Mungunda community should settle together with Tjamuaha’s <FONT size=2>son, Maharero (or Kamaharero). Kahitjene’s downfall could be directly attributed to his attempts to win access to arms with assistance of Rhenish Missionary Carl Hugo Hahn. Maharero left Otjimbingwe and returned to Tjamuaha’s place, Okahandja. In 1852 Jonker Afrikaner, extremely anxious to prevent Europeans from exploring Hereroland and Ovamboland and supplying Ovaherero with arms, attacked Tjamuaha and Maharero at Otjosemba. Even Hahn lost his cattle. In 1854 Jonker Afrikaner settled at Tjamuaha’s Okahandja settlement, at the site where the Rhenish Missionary Society’s church would be built in 1875, in order to gain better control over the Ovaherero. Jonker’s raids into Hereroland led even Ovaherero to flee from places like Otjitambi and Otavi into the Kaokoveld. In 1856 ||Oaseb of the Kai||khaun attacked with Hendrik Henricks of the ||Hawoben, the Ovaherero leader Ua Tjirue Tjamuaha, without any success. On 09.01.1858, during the Hoachanas Peace Accord, Jan and Piet Kopervoet, sons of Ua Tjirwe Tjamuaha, were signatories to the treaty. In 1860, Tjamuaha undertook a journey to Kaokoland in attempt to unite the Ovaherero against the Orlam Afrikaners. Ua Tjirwe Tjamuaha died in December 1861 in Okahandja. His successor was Maharero (Kamaharero) (1862-1890).

Tjetjo, Kandji, Ovaherero Chief
[Tjetjoo Alternative spelling]
*
+  September 1904 near the Bechuanaland border
---
Kandji Tjetjo from Owikokorero was an important Ovaherero Chief. He was one of the adversaries of Samuel Maharero. <FONT size=2>Samuel Maharero's recognition by the German authorities as supreme Ovaherero leader in August 1891 was not accepted by other Ovaherero leaders, such as Manasse Tyiseseta of Omaruru, Kandji Tjetjo of Owikokorero and the Ovambanderu leader Kahimemua Nguvauva, as well as Riarua, Maharero’s former advisor. In April 1894 Ovaherero Chief Kambazembi of the Waterberg attempted to reconcile Nikodemus Kavikunua and Chief Riarua with Samuel Maharero. He was not successful. Riarua in alliance with Kandji Tjetjo even raided Samuel’s cattle posts. In August/September 1899 Kandji Tjetjo (together with his son Traugott) was attacked by the Germans because he refused to hand over his arms. He participated in the German-Namibian War of 1904. On 11.02.1904, when Theodor Leutwein returned to the central parts of SWA from the south, <FONT size=2>he divided the German troops into four sections: a western section under Von Estorff tasked to advance via Omaruru, a main section under Leutwein tasked to attack Samuel Maharero who was probably at Otjosonjati at this time (Königs-Albertshöhe) in the upper Swakop valley, Major von Glasenapp’s eastern section tasked to attack Kandji Tjetjo in the east and Lieutenant Gygas’ section tasked to attack the Otjimbingwe Ovaherero. On 11.03.1904 Leutwein reported that Samuel Maharero was positioned along the line of Otjosazu, Okatumba at the Swakop River and Katjapia (with ±1 000 rifles); that Chief Michael Tyiseseta was moving from the Etjo Mountains in an eastward direction (with ±500 rifles); that the Tjetjo community had retreated from Kehoro at the Black Nossob River in the direction of the Onjati Mountains (with ±1 000 rifles); and that more Ovaherero under the command of Zeraua (with ±1 000 rifles) could be found in the area of Otjimbingwe at the Sney River, and at Lievenberg and Oruware at the Swakop River. On 12.03. Von Glasenapp’s unit marched along the Epukiro omuramba (fossil river) via Kanduwe, and Von Winkler along the Black Nossob River to Onjatu where the Germans pursued the Ovaherero under the command of Tjetjo. One day later the battle of Owikokorero was fought between Von Glasenapp and the Ovaherero under Tjetjo, with heavy losses for the Germans (total losses are nearly 70%: seven officers are killed, three wounded and 19 soldiers killed, three wounded). On 03.04.1904 Kandji Tjetjo met the Germans in a battle at a site between Okaharui and Otjikuara, with heavy losses on both sides. In September 1904, after the Waterberg Battle of August, the fleeing Ovaherero assembled at Okahandja North between the Omatako omuramba and the Eiseb omuramba. They fled further via Otjinene, Epata, Osombo-Windimbe (Ozombo ja Windimba) and Erindi-Ombahe, following the course of the Eiseb omuramba. Zacharias Zeraua from Otjimbingwe reported later that the chiefs Samuel Maharero from Okahandja, Banjo from Otjombonde, David and Salatiel Kambazembi from Waterberg, Ouandja from Otjikururume, Kayata from Otjihaenena, Michael Tyiseseta from Omaruru, Katjahingi and Assa Riarua had all assembled at Osombo Onjatu at the Eiseb omuramba. The chiefs Mambo and Kandji Tjetjo were also at the Eiseb omuramba, at the waterholes Otjinene and Epata. On 02.09.1904 Von Estorff’s forces attacked Owinauanaua, dislodging the chiefs Mambo and Kandji Tjetjo and forcing them to flee eastwards in the direction of the Bechuanaland Protectorate. Kandji Tjetjo died of thirst at Oruaromunjo and Mambo died of exhaustion while following Tjetjo.

Todd, James
*
+ .1878 at Kavango
---
James Todd was a hunter and trader who came to Namibia as one of the copper prospectors in ca. 1855. In the 1860s, he was fitted out by Charles John Andersson as elephant hunter, but later worked for Eriksson. Although Todd had a Ovaherero wife, he does not seem to have respected the Ovaherero, or orders by Chief Maharero. He was murdered by his own servants at the Okavango in 1878.

Toivo Ya Toivo, Andimba
[Ya Toivo, Hermann]
* 22.08.1924 at Omangundu
---
Andimba Toivo Ya Toivo was born on 22.08.1924 <FONT size=2>at Omangundu, near Ondangwa. Later he attended the Omangundu primary Schoo<FONT size=2>l and the primary school at Onayena. Between 1939 and 1942 Andimba attended the Vocational Training School at Ongwediva. He fought on the British side in World War Two. In 1950 he obtained a teaching diploma at the St Mary School at Odibo. Toivo taught at St. Cuthbert's, Onamutayi and St. Mary's Odibo.

<FONT color=#ff8040>Toivo worked as a railway police officer in Cape Town, 1952-1953. Toivo was involved in politics since 1954. He joined the African National Congress at Cape Town in 1957. He was a founder member of the Ovamboland People's Congress (OPC) (02.08.157)<FONT size=2>(in formal terms the OPC was never constituted), forerunner of the Ovamboland People's Organisation (OPO), subsequent SWAPO. <FONT size=2>Among the founding members of the OPC were Simon "Mzee" Kaukungua, Eliazer Tuhadeleni (Kaxumba kaNdola), Peter Hilinganye Mweshihange, Solomon Mifima, Maxton Joseph Mutongulume, Jariretundu Kozonguizi, Emil Appolus, Andreas Shipanga, Ottiliè Schimming and Kenneth Abrahams. Toivo met during this time Cape Town based South African socialists and liberals such as Brian Bunting, Sam Khan, Fred Carneson, Solly Sachs, Jack Simons, Patrick Duncan and Randolph Vigne. He also established close contacts with the two South African parties the Congress of Democrats (COD) and the Liberal Party.

<FONT color=#ff8040 size=2>In December 1958 Herman Andimba Toivo Ya Toivo succeeded in sending a petition to the United Nations, with the assistance of Mburumba Kerina and Michael Scott. Consequently he was deported from Cape Town, first to Keetmanshoop and Windhoek and later to Ovamboland, where he was placed under house arrest in his home village Oniipa. On the way from Cape Town to Keetmanshoop, Toivo was accompanied by Jariretundu Kozonguizi. In Keetmanshoop they entered into discussions with a newly formed organisation, the Society for the Advancement of the African People in South West Africa (SAAPSWA). They tried to persuade the SAAPSWA leader Philip Musirika to launch a new party, the Namaland People’s Congress, but nothing came of it.

<FONT color=#ff8040 size=2>Toivo, although a member of the Anglican Church, stayed in constant, close contact with Leonard Auala from the Evangelical Lutheran Ovambo-Kavango Church (ELOC). Because of OPO’s (later SWAPO’s) deep roots in the Ovambo people, ELOC subsequently gave its support to this national liberation movement. Members and supporters of SWAPO were also members of the congregation. The people, church and national liberation movement coincided. The OPO’s reconstitution as SWAPO in 1960 was triggered by national leaders such as Sam Nujoma, Andimba Toivo Ya Toivo, Mburumba Kerina, Jacob Kuhangua, Solomon Mifima, Paul Helmuth, Andreas Shipanga, Erasmus Erastus Mbumba, Emil Appolus, Maxton Joseph Mutongulume and Carlos Hamatui. South Africa immediately labelled SWAPO a "communist" organisation, but in terms of its policy objectives and conduct, SWAPO could in truth only be labelled a "nationalist movement".

<FONT color=#ff8040 size=2>With the beginning of SWAPO's armed struggle against the South African administration in March 1965, the first group of the SWA Liberation Army (SWALA) under the command of Peter Nanyemba, Tobias Hainjeko and John Otto Nankudhu left the Kongwa military training camp in Tanzania and moved to Nakonde in Zambia. From there they moved via Lusaka to Sesheke at the border to the Caprivi Strip. From Katima Mulilo they moved into Namibia and split up into several sub-groups. The sub-group headed by Patrick Iyambo (Lungada) moved to the homestead of Eliazer Tuhadeleni (Kaxumba kaNdola) at Endola in the Uukwanyama area where it later met the second sub-group. Tuhadeleni briefed SWAPO’s leaders including Andimba Toivo Ya Toivo, Joseph Matheus, Ben Amathila, Erastus Mbumba, Lot Homateni, Lamek Iithete and others. After their consultations with the SWAPO leadership, the group split up again for political mobilisation.

<FONT color=#ff8040 size=2>On 26.08.1966 SWAPO proclaimed officially the armed struggle for the liberation of SWA after the first SWAPO soldiers had completed their training. The first military clashes between NAPLA and SA troops occurred near the northern border with Angola (Omugulu-gOmbashe). In the mean time a further unarmed group under the command of Leonard Phillemon Shuuya (Castro) had run into a South African ambush in the Kavango. Only Julius Israel Shilongo (Kashuku) escaped and reported the incidents. Shilongo was hidden in the house of Erastus Mbumba. Phillemon, however, was converted by the South Africans and participated in the battle of Omugulu-gOmbashe on the South African side. After the Commander Johannes John Otto Nankudhu realised that he could not withstand the superior South African fire power, he ordered the NAPLA unit to retreat. Many NAPLA soldiers died, were wounded or taken prisoner by the South Africans. Eliazer Tuhadeleni (Kaxumba kaNdola) escaped and was not arrested until March 1967 when he was captured at Okaloko near Ondangwa.

<FONT color=#ff8040><FONT size=2>On 07.09.1966 Andimba Toivo Ya Toivo, SWAPO’s secretary at Ondangwa, and 44 other prominent SWAPO members were detained and later tried and imprisoned on Robben Island ("Terrorism Trial": The State vs. Tuhadeleni and Others). Some of those arrested were detained without trial for over a year, or until the passing of the Terrorism Act, No. 83 of 1967, which was made retroactive to 27.06.1962. Among the arrested SWAPO members were Immanuel Gottlieb Nathaniel "Maxuilili" (restricted to house arrest until 1985), Eliazer Tuhadeleni, Axel Johannes and John Ya Otto (some were arrested in December). Even Sam Nujoma’s father, who was already over 70 years old, Daniel Utoni Nujoma, and whose sole "crime" was being Nujoma's father, was arrested at the Okahao Hospital and sent to Pretoria prison. There he developed tuberculosis from which he later died. On 26.01.1968 Andimba Toivo Ya Toivo was sentenced to 20 years’ imprisonment by the Pretoria Supreme Court (after he was held in solitary confinement in Pretoria<FONT size=2> for more than a year before the sentence) and was incarcerated on Robben Island near Cape Town. The speech he made on behalf of his group after his conviction gained renown for its pronouncements denying SA the right to try SWA citizens or to rule their country (10.02.). His speech from the dock made headlines and became an internationally circulated key document to rally support for the Namibian liberation struggle.<FONT size=2> Ephraim Kamati Andjengo Kapolo died during the trial in Pretoria. The trialists were inter alia: Eliazer Tuhadeleni, John Otto Nankudhu (sentenced to life imprisonment), Simeon Shihungileni, Julius Israel Shilongo (Kashuku), Lazarus Zachariah (Shakala)(arrested on 16.04.1966 at Nkurenkuru and sentenced to 20 years’ imprisonment), David Hamunime (Kengoya), Joseph Shimuefeleni, Helao Shityuwete (arrested on 26.03.1966 and sentenced to 20 years’ imprisonment), Eino Kamati Ekandjo, Festus Nehale, Nghidipo Jesaja Haufiku (Kambwa), Immanuel Augustus Shifidi, Kaleb Hanganee Tjipahura, Rudolf Kadhikwa, Abel Shuudeni Haluteni, Betuel Nunjango, Michael Ifingilwa Moses, Matias Elia Nashidengo (Kanyeule), Malakia Shivute Ushona, Johannes Samuel Shiponeni, Petrus Kamati, Immanuel Gottlieb "Maxuilili" Nathaniel, John Ya Otto, Jason Daniel Mutumbulwa, Joseph Matheus, Jonas Nashivela, Nathanael Lot Homateni, Phillemon Kakwalindishi Shitilifa, Simeon Namunganga Hamulemo, Shinima Niilenge (Harakatyi), Petrus Sinima Niilenge, Ndjaula Tshaningua (Manghono), Sakeus Phillipus Iitika (Oshivela), Simeon Ipinge Iputa, Naftalie Amungulu (Kombadjele), and Rehabeam Olavi Nambinga. Joseph Shimuefeleni and Festus Nehale died later of negligence and mistreatment on Robben Island. Altogether 62 Namibian prisoners spent many years of hardship on Robben Island. Toivo served 16 of the 20 years.

<FONT color=#ff8040>On 01.03.1984 he <FONT size=2>was released from Robben Island. After a brief stay in Namibia he left for Lusaka (together with Hendrik Witbooi, Danny Tjongarero, Niko Bessinger and Crispin Matongo). Toivo became a member of the SWAPO Central Committee and Politburo. He was elected as SWAPO Secretary-General 1984-1991. He was elected as Member of the Constituent Assembly in 1989. At independence, Toivo was appointed as Minister of Mines and Energy until 26.03.1999. He was Minister of Labour from 1999-2000. Toivo became Minister of Prisons and Correctional Services on 21.03.2000- .

Karl Leonhard Tolonen was a Finnish missionary who landed at Walvis Bay together with five other Finnish missionaries (inter alia Martti Rautanen and Botolf Bernhard Björklund) and three mission assistants on 14.02.1869. When the others left for Ovamboland on 27.05.1870 after having received training from Carl Hugo Hahn at Otjimbingwe, Tolonen, because he was the most proficient in the Otjiherero language, remained behind at Otjimbingwe to take Hahn's place while he was absent. He followed the other Finnish missionaries at a later stage, and in mid-1871 was granted permission by Uukwanyama King Mweshipandeka sha Shaningika to build a house in the Uukwanyama area. As he was not as well received as had been expected, he returned to Ondonga in October the same year. Two similar incidents occurred during 1872. In January 1876, he returned to Finland for personal reasons.

Tom, Vita, Ovaherero (Ovahimba) Chief
[Oorlog - alternative name]
* 15.06.1863 at Otjimbingwe
+ 22.06.1937 near <FONT size=2>Okahao (Ongandjera area)
---
Vita Tom, also called "Chief Oorlog", was born on 15.06.1863 during the Battle of Otjimbingwe. <FONT size=2>He was related to Christian Wilhelm Zeraua and Manasse Tyiseseta of Omaruru (Omukweyuva-eanda: mother of Vita was Kaitundu, daughter of the sister of Manasse and the father was Tom Bechuana or Tom Botswana originating from Bechuanaland). He became a commando leader in Kaokoland following the raids of the Swartbooi and Topnaar. In 1871 Axel Wilhelm Eriksson, Tom Bechuana and Vita Tom visited King Mweshipandeka sha Shaningika of the Uukwanyama area in Ondjiva (present-day Angola). In 1881 the Dorsland-Trekkers crossed the Kunene River at Swartbooisdrift and moved into Angola. In Humpata and Neves, Tom Bechuana and Vita Tom joined the Dorsland-Trekkers. He stayed in Angola and during the German Ovaherero War 1904-1908 when many Ovaherero sought refuge with him. For instance, at the end of 1904 some Ovaherero including Haingombe, Wilhelm Katjisume, Thomas Mutate and Martin Kazerewi escaped into Angola, where they joined Vita Tom. Later the Okahandja Ovaherero preferred the leadership of Salatiel Kambazembi who temporarily also had joined Vita. In June 1909 a Portuguese military expedition under the leadership of Joao de Almeida moved from Angola against the Kavango. This expedition was accompanied by Vita Tom. Some Ovaherero fugitives from Bechuanaland joined Vita during this time. During the First World War, in December 1914, German troops under Major Franke attacked Naulila in Angola and defeated the Portuguese troops. Franke was wounded and Georg Trainer took over command. After the battle some prisoners of war were executed. Vita Tom also took part on the Portuguese side. He was able to escape. During September 1915 Vita Tom fought on the Portuguese side against King Mandume ya Ndemufayo of the Uukwanyama area. In 1916 Vita Tom ("Chief Oorlog") moved through the Ombuku and Omuhonga Rivers to Okonguati and Otjiyandjasemo in the Kaokoveld where he met Ovatjimba Chief Kasupi at Ombepera. He returned the same year to Angola. Vita returned finally from Angola in 1917. He was accompanied by Edward Tjipepa (his brother), Martin Tjiheura, Moses Ndjai, Paul Zakekua, Wilhelm Tjireye, Ngairo Muhenye Gabriel Cabrito, Joel Kapi, Vetamuna Tjambiru, George Hartley and Adrian Karipose. Vita settled permanently at Otjiyandjasemo, south-west of present-day Okonguati. He was supported by Ovatjimba Chief Kasupi from Ombepera. Tensions built up, however, with the Ovahimba Chief Muhona Katiti. The South African authorities (SA Police at Cauas Okawa) tried to mediate between Vita and Muhona. On 06.06.1917 Tom Vita was called to Windhoek and met SA Colonel MJ de Jager in order to find a solution for the various Kaokoland conflicts. This led later to an expedition to investigate affairs in the Kaokoveld under the command of the Native Resident Commissioner Charles N Manning. On 24.08.1917 Charles Manning mediated between Vita Tom and Ovahimba Chief Muhona Katiti in Otazuma in the vicinity of Otjivero in the Kaokoveld. Consequently Muhona moved his residence to Epembe at the Ondoto River. During June 1919, new disputes between Vita Tom and Ovahimba Chief Muhona Katiti arose. They resulted in Charles Manning’s new visit to the Kaokoveld. At this time Vita lived no longer at Otjiyandjasemo but in Ongongo at the Hoarusib River. After Manning had also visited Muhona and the Ovatjimba leader Kasupi, he met Vita at Kaoko Otavi. Manning accepted that among the Kaokoland communities Vita was the strongest leader. In 1920 Vita Tom decided to return from Ongongo at the Hoarusib River and to settle permanently at Otjiyandjasemo. In April 1923 new disputes between Vita Tom and Ovahimba Chief Muhona Katiti occurred. They led, as requested by Carl (Cocky) Hahn, Resident Commissioner of Ovamboland, to the third visit by Charles Manning to the Kaokoveld, meanwhile Magistrate of Rehoboth. As a result of this visit, Manning recommended dividing the northern Kaokoveld into three tribal areas: Muhona Katiti was given Ondoto, Epembe, Ovikange and Ehomba and Tom Vita the areas west of Epembe with Otjitanga, Hamalemba, Omangete, Ombakaha and Otjiyandjasemo. The Ovatjimba Chief Kasupi who had died in the mean time, was succeeded by Kahewa-Nawa, who received the areas around Ombepera. On 13.04.1923 "Cocky" Hahn met Vita for the first time. Hahn wrote about this meeting "He is a fine looking old native with excellent manners and personality." In September 1925 Vita Tom received Deneys Reitz in Otjiyandjasemo. There was some political stirring in the Kaokoveld because some Ovaherero moved from Outjo northwards. The headmen of this group were Langman Tjihahura, Jonas Tjivikwa, Hiaukambe Turitijo and Johannes Muzuma. The group settled at Okawao, Otjohaka, Omawatinda, Onaiso, Otjikuvare and Otjomumborombonga. The fluid situation was furthermore intensified by an internal power struggle between Ovatjimba Chief Kahewa-Nawa and his nephew Weripaka. This resulted in Kahewa-Nawa’s followers seeking support from Chief Tom Vita. During July 1936 and following the visit of Administrator Conradie to the Kaokoveld and also due to the weakening health of Chief Vita Tom, a Tribal Council (Ombongarero yomuhoko) was created at Okorosave in the Kaokoveld. Before this the Kaokoveld resorted under the Native Commissioner of Ovamboland. The Council recognised the two main chiefs, Vita and Karuvapa. The Ovaherero were represented by Moses Ndjai, Wilhelm Tjireye, Edward Tjipepa, George Hartley, Martin Tjiheura, Langman Tjihahura, Ludwig Tjitambo, Palminus M’gandje and Johannes Muzuma. The delegates for the Ovahimba and Ovatjimba were the chiefs Tjiparapara, Muzire, Marukwavi, Katje, Youruruka Tjirambo, Mumbombaro Kurama, Kwenda Kutanga, Kazungama Witahura Yapapu Ohupa, Kaimuvaza Mbunguho and Twazapu Musaso. In Ohopoho (later Opuwo) an office was created for the Council. The name "Ohopoho" (Otjiherero: It is enough) was coined by Carl (Cocky) Hahn, Native Commissioner in Ovamboland. The locals called the place Otjihinamaparero, also Otjitoporwa (Otjiherero: The first borehole in the area). On 22.06.1937 Vita Tom died near Okahao (Ongandjera area). His successor was Moses Ndjai from Okorosave.

Troost participated in the campaign against Hendrik Witbooi in the Naukluft 1894, but apparently left the military service in 1896. He was a man of independent wealth, a considerable part of which he consequently chose to spend on innovatory schemes, quite without any profit motives, in Namibia. In 1904 he introduced diesel machines at his own cost. He also designed a heavy duty steam desert vehicle for special application in the colony which he introduced by 1895. Many of his ideas were never tried out, but dutifully filed by the colonial administration. The famous "Martin Luther" locomotive outside Swakopmund is a remnant of one of Troost's schemes.

In 1859/60 Tseib was one of the Namaland Chiefs who was an adversary to Jonker Afrikaner of the Orlam Afrikaners. <FONT size=2>The political constellation as it consolidated itself in the late 1850s can be described as follows: The chiefs ||Oaseb of the Kai||khaun, Amraal Lambert or #Gai|nub of the Kai|khauan, Piet Koper !Gamab of the Fransman Nama or !Khara-khoen, Hendrik Henricks or !Nanib gaib #Arisemab of the ||Hawoben and Jacobus Boois from Bethany supported Jonker Afrikaner, while Willem Swartbooi or !Huiseb #Haobemab from Rehoboth, the chiefs from Bethany (David Christian Frederiks<FONT size=2>) and Berseba and later Kido Witbooi or #A-||êib from Gibeon, assisted by Captain Tseib from Keetmanshoop, represented the anti-Jonker coalition. The Rhenish missionaries and European traders greatly added to these polarisations of different Namibian groups. The intent was to destroy Jonker’s nascent state structures in order to weaken any local political power that might have resisted the missionaries’ objectives and later colonial annexation. Jonker’s slogan: "Africa to Africans, but Namaland and Hereroland to us" was a challenge which was not acceptable to the missionaries. In 1904 Tseib did not participate in the German-Nama War 1903-1913.

In 1890, at the invitation of King Tshaanika Tsha Natshilongo, the Rhenish Missionary Society sent out two missionaries, August Wulfhorst and Friedrich Meisenholl, to work in the Ongandjera area in Ovamboland. On their way to Okahao they were stopped by King Negumbo of the Uukwambi area. Thereafter they were invited by King Ueyulu ya Hedimbi to establish mission stations in the Uukwanyama area instead (which they did in 1891). During the German Ovaherero War 1904-1908 he gave refuge to some fleeing Ovaherero. For instance, in September 1904 Daniel Kariko, the former group leader from Okombahe, fled to Tshaanika Tsha Natshilongo. King Tshaanika Tsha Natshilongo died in 1930. His successor was the 21st Ongandjera King Sheya shaAmukwa (1930-1936).
