Adolf Kaempffer was born on 13.06.1896 at Oberröblingen in Germany. He was the second son of Dr. Richard Kaempffer, an ardent German nationalist of the "Alldeutsche" movement. He came to Namibia in 1902 with his parents who bought the farm "Deutsche Erde" on the Fish River from Hendrik Witbooi. He served in the Schutztruppe during World War I. He took over the parents' heavily indebted farm after his father's death in 1919, but could not keep it. He worked in the diamond fields and bought a smallholding in Bethany (1927) where he married in 1929. He returned to Germany in 1930, where he worked for the "Reichskolonialbund" and wrote several colonial novels, all of them set in Namibia. After World War II, he worked at the refugee camp Friedland near Göttingen and as social worker for the Evangelical Church. He lived in retirement at Göttingen.

Kahewa-Nawa, Ovaherero (Ovatjimba) Chief
*

---
Chief Kahewa-Nawa was the successor of Ovatjimba Chief Kasupi and ruled from 1923 to 1935. In September 1925 <FONT size=2>the fluid Kaokoland situation was intensified by an internal power struggle between Chief Kahewa-Nawa and his nephew Weripaka. This resulted in Kahewa-Nawa’s followers seeking support from Chief Tom Vita. Chief Kahewa-Nawa died in 1935. A suitable successor could not be found (Kahewa-Nawa’s brother Karuho and his nephew Weripaka were not very popular amongst their followers). This led to a further weakening of the system of chiefs in the Kaokoveld.

Kahitjene, Oove ua Muhoko, Ovaherero Chief
[Nawatab oove ua Muhoko - Nama name]
* .1790 in Namibia
+ ??.04.1852 in Namibia
---
Oove ua Muhoko Kahitjene was born around 1790. He was a wealthy and powerful Ovaherero Chief in the vicinity of Okahandja. Initially, he was a tributary of Orlam Afrikaner Chief Jonker Afrikaner. In 1842 <FONT size=2>the Ovaherero chiefs Tjamuaha (born ca. 1790) and Maharero (born 1820) settled in Windhoek on Jonker’s demand. The two Ovaherero groups under their leaders Oove ua Muhoko Kahitjene and Tjamuaha formed an alliance with Jonker Afrikaner (24.12.1842: <FONT size=2>Christmas Peace 1842). During 1844, Kai||khaun Captain ||Oaseb attacked Oove ua Muhoko Kahitjene without Jonker Afrikaner lifting a finger to help the latter. Kahitjene’s defeat can be directly attributed to his attempts to win independent access to guns, horses and information with assistance of a European missionary, Carl Hugo Hahn. This led finally to his downfall in 1851. In 1846 Kahitjene moved to Okahandja. In January 1849, <FONT size=2>Kamukamu, brother of Oove ua Muhoko Kahitjene, was killed by Jonker Afrikaner when the Orlam Afrikaners, returning from a raid on Walvis Bay, decided to plunder Ovaherero villages. In 1850, he launched an unsuccessful attack on Jonker. After that, he felt insecure at Okahandja and decided to move to Hahn's station at Otjikango, but as his people were about to leave on 23.08.1850, they were attacked by Jonker and virtually annihilated. On 12.03.1851 Francis <FONT size=2>Galton 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 in April 1852. The Ovaherero decided that the Mungunda community should settle together with Tjamuaha’s <FONT size=2>son, Maharero (or Kamaharero). Kahitjene’s downfall can be directly attributed to his attempts to win access to arms with assistance of missionary Hahn.

Kambazembi wa Kangombe, Ovaherero Chief
*

---
Kambazembi wa Kangombe <FONT size=2>(Kangombe was Kambazembi’s father) was the Ovaherero Chief of Otjozondjupa (Waterberg) from ca. 1860 until September 1903. On 21.06.1874, <FONT size=2>in the presence of Frederick Joseph Green, Maharero (Kamaharero), together with Chief Therawa from Omaruru and Chief Kambazembi wa Kangombe from Otjozondjupa, requested Henred Barkly as British High Commissioner in the Cape Colony to prevent a group of Transvaal Boers (Hendrik van Zyl) from settling in Damaraland. This led the Cape authorities to find a Special Commissioner for Damaraland. William Coates Palgrave was consequently duly appointed. However, when the Ovaherero chiefs and Palgrave hold the Main Conference of Okahandja in September 1876, in order to resolve the problems in Hereroland, Kambazembi did not attend. Kambazembi was defiant towards the German colonial take-over of the territory: During August/September 1892 an attorney from Hamburg (Germany), Julius Scharlach, obtained the "Damaraland Concession", thus breaking the monopoly of the Deutsche Kolonialgesellschaft für SWA (DKGSWA). Cecil Rhodes soon dominated the new South West Africa Company (SWAC), which held the sole right to operate railway lines between Sandwich Harbour and the Kunene River mouth as well as to exploit the copper deposits of the Otavi Mountains. Matthew Rogers investigated the mining potential of the Tsumeb Mine. The accompanying German officials Gustav Duft and Von Bülow were stopped on order of the brother of the Ovaherero Chief Kambazembi wa Kangombe of the Waterberg while the British were allowed to proceed. In April 1894 Chief Kambazembi attempted to reconcile Nikodemus Kavikunua and Chief Riarua with Samuel Maharero. He was, however, not successful. In September 1903, Kambazembi wa Kangombe died at the Waterberg and was buried there. His successors were his sons David Kaonjonga Kambazembi, who became Chief of the Waterberg, and Salatiel Kambazembi, who became Chief of the remaining Kambazembi areas.

Kambazembi, David Kaonjonga, Ovaherero Chief

<FONT size=2>David Kaonjonga Kambazembi (1903-1904) was the son of Kambazembi wa Kangombe <FONT size=2>(ca. 1860-1903). <FONT size=2>Kambazembi wa Kangombe's successors at his death in September 1903 were his two sons David Kaonjonga Kambazembi, who became Chief of the Waterberg, and Salatiel Kambazembi, who became Chief of the remaining Kambazembi areas. David took part in the German Ovaherero War 1904. On the days before the 12.01.1904, there were many rumours amongst German settlers and soldiers of a possible Ovaherero uprising which added to the outbreak of the war, although there were no signs about any envisaged Ovaherero insurrection in early January. On 06.01.1904, Kurt Streitwolf reported on a meeting with Traugott Tjetjo in the Gobabis district. Streitwolf informed that he did not believe that war was imminent. At the Waterberg, Sergeant G. Rademacher and missionary Wilhelm Eich reacted to reports by Mrs. Sonnenberg, whose husband, trader G. Sonnenberg, had held discussions with Chief David Kambazembi on the growing indebtedness of the Ovaherero. Rademacher and Eich reported that war was unlikely, especially that Kambazembi was preparing for a visit of Chief Ouandja at Otjikururume. When the war had started on 12.01.1904, the Waterberg military station was conquered by the Ovaherero under the command of Kambazembi. All soldiers under the command of Sergeant G. Rademacher were killed (14.01.1904). However, on the other hand, Samuel Maharero allowed missionary Eich with his small party of German women and children safe passage from Waterberg to Okahandja (date of arrival: 09.04.). Headmen such as Michael Tyiseseta, Ouandja, Assa Riarua and David Kambazembi agreed to the safe passage. After the Waterberg Battle in August 1904, the surviving 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.

On 08.12.1904 it was reported that <FONT size=2>Chief Michael Tyiseseta and nine followers escaped the Germans and Michael handed himself over to the British authorities in the Walvis Bay enclave. Between 800 and 1 000 Ovaherero made their way to Walvis Bay and approximately 1 175 to British Bechuanaland. 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 1923 it was reported that, following the funeral of Samuel Maharero in August 1923, Frederick Maharero, the oldest son of Samuel, appealed to the SWA Administration to be permitted to stay in SWA. His appeal was backed by Salatiel Kambazembi (who returned to SWA around 1920), Hosea Kutako, Traugott Maharero, Alfred Maharero, Joel Kasetura, Asser Kamusuvise, Silphanus Mungunda and Wilfried Kazondonga. He remained the Ovaherero Chief at the Waterberg until 1941 when he died. His successor was Josephat Kambazembi (1941-1960).

Kambonde kaMpingana, Ovamboland (Ondonga West) King

When the ninth Ondonga King Iitana <FONT size=2>yaNekwiyu <FONT size=2>died on 26.09.1884, he was succeeded by two Ondonga kings: King Kambonde kaMpingana (1884-1909) with the capital Onamayongo (or Okaloko according to other oral evidence)(western Ondonga) and King Nehale (1884-1908) with the capital Onayena in the Oshitambi area (eastern Ondonga). The Finnish Missionary Society supported King Kambonde against King Nehale with weapons and ammunition because King Nehale was perceived to be an "enemy of the European mission work in Africa". On 21.04.1885, <FONT size=2>William Worthington Jordan bought 50 000 km<SUP>2</SUP> of land from King Kambonde. Jordan called this area "Republic Upingtonia" and a group of Dorsland-Trekkers from Angola settled there – in the area of Otavi and Otjiwanda (Oshiwambo: Oshaandashongwe; Khoekhoegowab: Kai|aub)(present-day Grootfontein) which included the copper mines at Tsumeb. This deal increased the tensions between the two kings Kambonde and Nehale. Jordan was murdered in 1886 in Ondonga and the Republic Upingtonia was dissolved (June 1887). In 1895 King Kambonde kaMpingana (1884-1909) sent a message, assisted by Finnish missionary Martti Rautanen, to this effect: "[I] hope to never see the German Governor in [my] life because the Germans are coming to rule." At the end of 1895 Kambonde reported that a number of Ovaherero had come to see him, complaining that Samuel Maharero had become the servant of Theodor Leutwein. During October 1900 Erich Victor Carl August Franke visited the Ovamboland Kings Kambonde kaMpingana of the Ondonga area and Ueyulu ya Hedimbi of the Uukwanyama area. Uukwambi King Negumbo refused to allow Franke to visit his territory and threatened the Germans with war. Franke reported about growing native resistance against the activities of the Finnish missionaries. During the German Ovaherero War 1904-1908 Samuel Maharero tried in vain to draw the Ovambo into the war. According to Finnish missionary Albin Savola, an Ovaherero messenger requested King Kambonde kaMpingana to help the Ovaherero against the Germans. But the Finnish missionaries counselled the Ovambo to remain neutral, and in only one instance – King Nehale’s attack on Namutoni in January 1904– did they side with the Ovaherero. In January 1905 the Finnish missionary Martti Rautanen persuaded King Kambonde kaMpingana not to support King Nehale, who under Ovaherero influence was ready to rise against the Germans again. In May/June 1908 Erich Victor Carl August Franke visited again the Ovamboland Kings Kambonde kaMpingana of the Ondonga area and Ueyulu ya Hedimbi of the Uukwanyama area. He also visited the Uukwambi, Uukwalhuudi and Ongandjera areas. Franke concluded protection treaties with all the kings of these areas, with assistance of the missionaries Martti Rautanen and August Wulfhorst. These treaties brought Ovamboland formally under German protection, but in practice the kingdoms still continued to function as independent units. On 22.06.1909 King Kambonde died. His successor was the 11th King Kambonde kaNgula (1909-1912).

Kapuuo, Clemence, Ovaherero Chief
[Kapuuo, Clemens - alternative name]
* 16.03.1923 at Teufelsbach near Okahandja
+ 27.03.1978 at Windhoek
---
Clemence Kapuuo was born on 16.03.1923 on the farm Teufelsbach near Okahandja. He was educated at the St. Barnabas School, Windhoek. After this he was trained as a teacher in Johannesburg. In November 1946, <FONT size=2>the African Improvement Society (AIS) was founded as a kind of secretariat for the Herero Chiefs’ Council by students and teachers such as Clemence Kapuuo. Its functions were mainly cultural and educational. It soon began to compete in importance with the semi-official Bantu Welfare Club (founded at the beginning of the 1930s; "black" committee members 1937: AE Mogale, AS Mungunda, AS Shipena) operating in the "Old Location" in Windhoek. Prominent members were Bartholomeus Gerhardt Karuaera (President), Berthold Himumuine (Secretary), Clemence Kapuuo and David Meroro. Himumuine was the first Namibian "black" to obtain the "Matric". During 1949 Sam Nujoma moved to Windhoek to join his uncle Hiskia Kondombolo. With assistance from Aaron Hamutenya, father of Hidipo Hamutenya, Nujoma learned English at the St. Barnabas Night School. The school’s director was Berthold Himumuine, the real force behind Hosea Kutako. Nujoma became aware of the United Nations through Hosea Kutako. He met Hosea with help of Gabriel Mbuende, father of Kaire Mbuende, and Clemence Kapuuo. From 1950-1953 Kapuuo was the President of the South West Africa Coloured Teachers Association. He became a Member of the Herero Chiefs Council. He was instrumental in organising the first petitions to the United Nations. In May 1959 <FONT size=2>the formation of the South West African National Union (SWANU) was envisaged: the Herero Chiefs’ Council, SWAPA and the SWASB, as well as Sam Nujoma and Jacob Kuhangua, were instrumental in its formation. Clemence Kapuuo proposed the name "SWANU", but he did not hold a function in the party<FONT size=2>. Chiefs such as Hosea Kutako later did not succeed in gaining control of this mass-based organisation. On 20.08.1959 SWANU was unofficially founded. The first elections for the executive office of the party led to a power struggle for positions. Clemence Kapuuo and Levy Nganjone represented the "traditionalist" wing. In September 1959 the Ovamboland People's Organisation (OPO) joined SWANU (but continued to operate as an independent party). An alliance of the OPO, SWANU and the traditional headmen and chieftains of the Ovaherero, Nama and Dama organised a mass campaign against a re-<FONT size=2>settlement programme that envisaged destroying the "Old Location" (30 000 inhabitants) west of Windhoek’s town centre, and building the townships of Katutura (Otjiherero: "the place where people do not live") and Khomasdal. Protest models were the "Defiance Campaign" of the African National Congress (ANC) in South Africa, and Ghandi’s non-violent "satyagraha". Some external leaders such as Kozonguizi and Kerina wrote letters to local political leaders such as Andimba Toivo Ya Toivo, Sam Nujoma, John Muundjua, Barney Mbuha and Clemence Kapuuo, in which they provided political advice and expressed hope for self-determination under the auspices of the UN. Kapuuo was a witness of the "Old Location Uprising" of December 1959. As from 1960 he served as Secretary for Hosea Kutako and Deputy Chief, due to Kutako's age. <FONT size=2>Clemence Kapuuo was as Deputy Chief elected despite strong opposition from SWANU and the Ovambanderu (Mbanderu Council). In the same year he assisted Sam Nujoma to go into exile. In 1964 Clemence Kapuuo rejected the Odendaal Plan. On 25.09.1964 Clemence Kapuuo, Mburumba Kerina and Hosea Kutako established the traditionalist National Unity Democratic Organisation (NUDO). Kapuuo from the NUDO and Fritz Gariseb from the DEC opposed the South African Apartheid policy but advocated a federal type of government based on the old tribal regions. SWAPO (Nujoma) and SWANU (Kozonguizi) favoured a non-racial democracy based on universal franchise and on the ideology of Pan-Africanism. Clemence Kapuuo succeeded Hosea Kutako as Chief of the Ovaherero on 20 July 1970.<FONT size=2> Consequently the Association for the Preservation of the Tjamuaha-Maharero Royal House was founded by Jephta Maharero to dispute the legitimacy of Hosea Kutako’s successor, Kapuuo.  On 13.11.1971 the National Convention (NC), also known as the National Convention of Freedom Parties of Namibia (NCFP)(and from 1975 as the Namibia National Convention (NNC)) was formed as a "united front" of liberation forces. SWAPO under Meroro, NUDO under Kapuuo and the Rehoboth Volksparty under Diergaardt participated. On 13.02.1972 the National Convention (NC) was further strengthened during a meeting in Rehoboth attended by parties like SWAUNIO, the Voice of the People Party, SWANU under Gerson Hitjevi Veii, NAPDO and the Association for the Preservation of the Tjamuaha-Maharero Royal House. The NC appointed Clemence Kapuuo as Chairman and Veii as Secretary. Other parties, including DEMCOP, the Herero Chiefs’ Council, the Nama Chiefs’ Council and the Damara Tribal Executive Committee (DTEC) later joined the NC. The NC later refused to participate in the South African Advisory Council for South West Africa (the constitutional predecessor of the Turnhalle Conference of 1975). On 01.03.1973 South Africa established the Multi-National Advisory Council for SWA. The Advisory Council, excluding SWAPO, SWANU and the National Convention, met three times. Kapuuo rejected it because of its "ethnic" foundation. In November 1973 Clemence Kapuuo of NUDO tried to obtain UN recognition for the National Convention. He was supported by David Hoveka Meroro of SWAPO and Gerson Hitjevi Veii of SWANU, but was unsuccessful in his effort. In July 1975 the SA Minister of Bantu Administration and Development, M.C. Botha, in an attempt to curb the dissension among different Ovaherero factions, and after intense lobbying on the part of Clemence Kapuuo, informed the Ovaherero at Okakarara that they can stay in Aminuis, and that the Aminuis Ovaherero would not be relocated to the Rietfontein Block in Hereroland East. A "homeland" for the Tswana ("Tswanaland") in parts of Aminuis, was originally planned in accordance with the Odendaal Plan. Botha thus dismembered the Odendaal Plan by eliminating Tswanaland as one of its proposed ethnic "homelands". This move was one of the reasons that Kapuuo joined later the Turnhalle Conference. The Turnhalle Constitutional Conference, plans for which had already been announced in November 1974, was constituted along ethnic lines on 01.09.1975. SWAPO was excluded, and during its inauguration held demonstrations under the leadership of Danny Tjongarero to protest this SA-initiated conference. The conference was preceded by a wave of arrests of "black" opposition leaders, notably from SWAPO and the NNC. Clemence Kapuuo’s participation in the Turnhalle Conference constituted an effort to improve the situation of the Ovaherero. On 05.11.1977 the Democratic Turnhalle Alliance (DTA) was founded, with Ovaherero Chief Clemence Kapuuo as its first President and Dirk Mudge its Chairman. The NUDO (Clemence Kapuuo), the RBA (Ben Africa), the LP (Andrew Kloppers), the RP (Dirk Mudge), SWAPDUF (Engelhardt Christy), the Nama Alliance (Daniël Luipert) and the NDP (Cornelius Ndjoba) joined the DTA as member parties. On 27.03.1978 Clemence Kapuuo was, in the presence of Gerson Hoveka from the Epukiro Reserve, and other friends, assassinated in Katutura/Windhoek. Clashes between Ovambo and Ovaherero followed in Katutura and Okakarara. Quickly the South African Administration accused SWAPO of the murder, although nobody was ever formally charged with the killing. The killing was never clarified. If the question is asked who benefitted from the murder, the scenario becomes clearer. The SWAPO activist Axel Johannes was charged by the South African security forces with the murder, tortured and mock executed, although he could prove that he was not in Windhoek during the incident. The killing, and the accusation which was levelled against SWAPO, was used to justify the crackdown by the South African Defence Forces on SWAPO followers inside Namibia and on SWAPO bases outside Namibia, thus efficiently and effectively derailing the United Nations peace process in 1978. Finally it led to the fall of the Vorster government and the advent of P.W. Botha’s government of his "securocrats". Kapuuo's successor was Kuaima Riruako (1978-).

Kariko, Daniel, Ovaherero Chief
* in Namibia
---
Daniel Kariko (ca. 1890-1896) was the Ovaherero Chief of Okombahe. On 30.11.1894, <FONT size=2>the Dama leader Cornelius ||Goreseb was installed by Theodor Leutwein as the first paramount chief of the Dama (Berg Damara) in Okombahe in order to weaken the Ovaherero position of Manasse Tyiseseta of Omaruru. The Ovaherero leader at Okombahe, Daniel Kariko, was simultaneously deposed from his position as chief. Later differences between Kariko and Manasse were exploited by Leutwein and led to the complete downfall of Kariko in 1896. On 26.06.1896 Kariko was arrested, found guilty of high treason and sentenced to jail. Due to Manasse Tyiseseta's intervention, his life was spared and he was later banished to Erahui. In 1897 he escaped to Walvis Bay. Kariko participated in the German Ovaherero War of 1904. After the Waterberg Battle in August 1904, Daniel Kariko, the former group leader from Okombahe, fled to the Ongandjera King, Tshaanika Tsha Natshilongo after first escaping to Walvis Bay. Later he moved to South Africa. After the end of German colonial rule in Word War One, Kariko returned to Central Namibia in 1915. On 18.04.1917<FONT size=2>, Daniel Kariko applied for an Ovaherero reserve at Otjohorongo. The request was supported by the surviving Ovaherero chiefs from Omaruru, Moses Mbandjo and Christof Katjimune as well as Gerhard Zeraua. This was granted by the magistrate for Omaruru, Major Thomas Leslie O’Reilly. Mr. Dixon became Superintendent of the reserve in 1918, with Katjimune as the appointed reserve leader.

Chief Kasupi was a famous Kaokoland (Ovatjimba) leader and ruled from ca. 1900 to 1923. In 1910 <FONT size=2>the German geologist J. Kuntz reported that he had reached the main village Ombepera (west of Otjiyandjasemo) of Ovatjimba Chief Kasupi. At the beginning of World War One Heinrich Vedder and Bernhard Trey from the Rhenish Missionary Society undertook an expedition into the Kaokoveld, in order to establish mission stations. Kaoko Otavi was identified as an appropriate location. Trey tried to convince Chief Kasupi from the Otjiyandjasemo area to support them, but Kasupi refused to see him. When Trey linked up with Vedder again he related a most peculiar rumour which he had heard from Ovaherero in Angola, and which baffled the missionaries for months. He heard that the British had invaded the Portuguese territory and that the exiled Ovaherero Chief Samuel Maharero had invaded SWA and captured several German ships at Swakopmund. Later they learned the truth that World War One had begun. The "bush telegraph" of the Kaokoveld had misled the missionaries - but there had been a grain of truth in the rumours. In 1917 Kaokoland Chief Vita Tom ("Chief Oorlog") returned from Angola. Vita settled permanently at Otjiyandjasemo, south-west of present-day Okonguati. He was supported by Chief Kasupi from Ombepera. The Ovatjimba Chief Kasupi died during 1923. He was succeeded by Chief Kahewa-Nawa (1923-1935), who received the areas around Ombepera.

<FONT size=2>Muhona Katiti was a famous Ovahimba Chief. During the First World War he returned from Angola. In 1917 tensions built up between Chief Vita Tom ("Chief Oorlog") and him. 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 M.J. 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 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 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. In April 1923 new disputes between Vita Tom and Muhona Katiti occurred. They led, as requested by Carl Hugo Linsingen (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. Muhona Katiti died on 13.09.1931 at <FONT size=2>Epembe. His successor was not his son Muhonisa, but his brother Karuvapa.
