Nande was the fourteenth King of the Uukwanyama area. He ruled from 1904 until 1911. He succeeded King Ueyulu ya Hedimbi in 1904. In 1904, <FONT size=2>in Angola, the Portuguese attacked further positions of the Angolese people south of the Kunene River. Several battles were fought with warriors from the Ombandja area at Omwandiwoshivandje, Ouhekeweenghenghe, Omakhungu and Evelo la Pembe. During 1904 the Ombandja King Shihetekela Hiudulu entered a coalition with various Ovambo communities (Uukwambi, Ombalantu, Uukwaluudhi and Ongandjera) against the Portuguese. Various battles were fought between the Ombandja-Ovambo coalition and the Portuguese (Onhundayevala (1904), Eloveya la Nanghanga, Omufilu, Omukoyimo, Omufitu uaNdeiteja, Oda yanangeda and Onangovo (1907). After the Portuguese defeated the Ombandja-Ovambo coalition, King Shihetekela retreated into the Uukwanyama area, to Onangodji near Ombuba yomanyoshe, in order to re-organise his resistance against the Portuguese colonial power. Because his relationship with the Uukwanyama King Ueyulu ya Hedimbi and his successor, King Nande, was not good, he had to wait until King Nande's successor, Mandume ya Ndemufayo, assisted him to step up Ombandja resistance. King Nande died in 1911. <FONT size=2>He was followed by the 15th Uukwanyama King Mandume ya Ndemufayo (1911-1917).

<FONT size=2>Negumbo lya Kandenge, Ovamboland (<FONT size=2>Uukwambi) King
* 
+  .1907
---
<FONT size=2>The seventeenth Uukwambi King was King Negumbo lya Kandenge (1875-1907). He followed King Nuyoma (1863-1875). Negumbo was a moderate king and managed to unify the Uukwambi community once again after the decline of its royal power due to the many wars in the past. In 1890, at the invitation of Ongandjera 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. Thereafter the missionaries were invited by Uukwanyama King Ueyulu ya Hedimbi to establish mission stations in the Uukwanyama area instead (which they do in 1891). In October 1900 Erich Victor Carl August Franke visited the Ovamboland Kings Kambonde kaMpingana of the Ondonga and Ueyulu ya Hedimbi of the Uukwanyama areas. 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. In June 1901 war between the Germans and King Negumbo seemed imminent. Captain Kliefoth had to retreat. For this reason Georg Hartmann of the OMEG later decided to bypass the Uukwambi area in planning a railway line between Otavi and Porto Alexandre in Angola. Hartmann investigated a line between Otavi and the Ondonga areas of Kings Nehale and Kambonde kaMpingana, to be continued to the Uukwanyama area of King Ueyulu ya Hedimbi, to Humbe, Porto Alexandre and Mossamedes (Namibe in present Angola). After the death of King Negumbo in 1907, Iipumbu ya Tshilongo (1907-1932) became the new king (1907-1932).

Nehale lyaMpingana, Ovamboland (Ondonga (East)) King

+ 04.1908 in Namibia
---
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). Nehale lyaMpingana was the younger brother of Ondonga (West) King Kambonde kaMpingana. He was an ambitious leader, he instituted a secession of the eastern part of Ondonga from his brother's kingdom where he ruled as a parallel king. Nehale was much less conciliatory towards the missions and towards Europeans in general than his brother.<FONT size=2> Consequently 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, allegedly inspired by King Nehale. The Republic Upingtonia was consequently dissolved (June 1887). <FONT size=2>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 – did they side with the Ovaherero. On 28.01.1904 five hundred Ovambo soldiers under King Nehale of the Ondonga area attacked Fort Namutoni. The seven German defenders under the command of Sergeant Großmann fled via Nagusib to Tsumeb during the night. At Nagusib they were rescued by a patrol which was sent by Lieutenant Volkmann from Grootfontein. The Fort Namutoni was destroyed by Nehale’s forces. 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. <FONT size=2>After the death of King Nehale in April 1908, the Ondonga kingdom once again becomes a unified whole.

He received a B.Phil. degree from the University of Uppsala in Sweden and a D.Phil. from the Oxford University in the United Kingdom. He was a Member of SWAPA and later SWANU. <FONT size=2>Members of SWAPA (and other political organisations) created The South West News, a newspaper in English, Afrikaans, Otjiherero and Oshivambo (one article even appeared in German) which promoted "black" nationalism in Namibia (first edition appeared on 05.03.1960). The publisher was the "black" African Publishing Company. The first editors were Emil Appolus and Zedekia Ngavirue who later played a prominent role in the South West African National Union (SWANU). The paper was supported by liberal "whites" like Karl Friedrich Lempp from the Allgemeine Zeitung (AZ), Daan Minnaar from the The Windhoek Advertiser and Dan Tregoning from Otjiwarongo. Only nine editions (last edition: 03.09.1960) were printed. The only "black" publishing house in Namibia, the African Publishing Company (founded on 28.10.1959) had to be closed in 1961 because it could not be sustained financially and most of its editors were in the mean time in exile. In January 1960 the Hall Commission of Inquiry, which commenced on 11.01.1960 and which included the SWA Judge President, was appointed by the South African Government to investigate the "Old Location Uprising"  of December 1959. Sam Nujoma, Uatja Kaukuetu and Zedekia Ngavirue represented the Old Location community. The Ovamboland People's Organisation (OPO) hired the law company Tambo and Mandela from Johannesburg. On the request of the Chief Native Commissioner Brewer Blignaut, Tambo was deported back to South Africa. Consequently OPO was defended by Advocate van Niekerk. However, the deeds of the SA police were completely exonerated. Consequently Ngavirue went into exile after 1960. He was a Lecturer/Sen. Lecturer at the University of Papua/New Guinea from 1972 until 1978. After his return to Namibia in 1981 he was a Manager for Education and Training at the Private Sector Foundation in Windhoek from 1981 to 1983. He became then a Director for Personnel and Training at Rössing Uranium Ltd. from 1983 until 1984. He served as the Deputy Chairman of Rössing Uranium Ltd. from 1984 to 1985 and as Chairman of Rössing Uranium Ltd. from 1985 until 1989. After independence he became the Director General of the National Planning Commission from 1990 to1995. He served as Namibian Ambassador to the European Union and the Kingdom of Belgium in Brussels from 1995 to 2003. Since then he lives in retirement.

Nguvauva, Kahimemua, Ovaherero (Ovambanderu) Chief
* ca.1850
+ 12.06.1896 at Okahandja
---
Kahimemua Nguvauva (ca.1880-1896) was born around 1850. He was a famous leader of the eastern section of the Ovaherero, the Ovambanderu. While his relations with the Ovaherero of central Namibia were strained, his relations with Hendrik Witbooi were marked by outright mutual hostility and several cattle raids and counter-raids. He participated in the Ovaherero Nama War of the 1880s. In August 1880 <FONT size=2>Gobabis was destroyed by him. Many Nama were killed. Kahimemua Nguvauva allied himself with Nikodemus <FONT size=2>Kavikunua, whose position towards Samuel Maharero (subordinate or equal) was in dispute. When in August 1891 the Germans recognised Samuel Maharero as Paramount Ovaherero Chief, <FONT size=2>this was not accepted by other Ovaherero leaders, such as Manasse Tyiseseta of Omaruru, Kandji Tjetjo of Owikokorero and Kahimemua Nguvauva, as well as Riarua, Maharero’s former advisor. They were all serious contenders to the Ovaherero chieftaincy of Okahandja. In January 1895 a dispute over the southern border in the eastern sector arose between Ovambanderu leaders Kahimemua Nguvauva and Nikodemus Kavikunua and the Germans. Nikodemus still opposed Samuel Maharero, also on the border dispute, because the land question was an extremely sensitive issue for the Ovaherero and Ovambanderu. The fierce and bitter border quarrel brought the dispute between Maharero on the one side and Kahimemua and Kavikunua on the other to a head. On 18.05.1895 Theodor Leutwein, Samuel Maharero and Riarua met Kavikunua and Kahimemua at Otjinauanaua. An agreement was reached which eventually led to the downfall of Nikodemus and Kahimemua. During April 1896 Leutwein issued a proclamation at Kowas where, in agreement with Samuel Maharero, he dismissed Kahimemua and Kavikunua from their positions as chiefs. During the German Ovambanderu War of 1896 the Ovambanderu were defeated in the battle of Otjunda (Sturmfeld). Kahimemua surrendered to the Germans. Kavikunua, however, did not participate in the battles of Gobabis and Otjunda. Kahimemua sent Ovambanderu to Ngamiland (present-day Botswana) under the leadership of his son, Hiatuvao Nguvauva, father of the later Ovambanderu Chief Munjuku Nguvauva II. This was the first wave of Ovaherero to flee to present-day Botswana. Some Ovaherero escaped into the north-east of the territory. They settled in the area of Karakuwisa. There the Ovaherero were involved in violent clashes with local San groups. Kahimemua Nguvauva was executed by s shooting squad on 12.06.1896 after an official trial  by the Germans in Okahandja for his co-responsibility in the war, together with Nikodemus Kavikunua. Theodor Leutwein was prepared to pardon the two leaders, but Samuel Maharero insisted on the executions, in order to get rid of two rivals of his own position as Paramount Chief of the Ovaherero. Before his execution, Kahimemua is said to have uttered a curse on his enemies which foretold the rinderpest which reached Namibia in late 1896. Kahimemua's story as told by Ovaherero and Ovambanderu informants has been documented in two publications, see Sundermeier (1987) and Heywood (1992). For additional biographical details, see Van Rooyen and Reiner (1995) and Pool (1991). One of the other Ovambanderu leaders, who was involved in the war against the Germans, <FONT size=2>Kanangati Hoveka, died shortly after the executions. His successor was Nikanor Hoveka (born around 1875).

Nguvauva, Munjuku II, Ovaherero (Ovambanderu) Chief

<FONT size=2>Ombara Onene JovaMbanderu (traditional title) Munjuku Nguvauva II was the grandson of Hiatuvao Nguvauva, who was the son of the famous Ovambanderu Chief Kahimemua Nguvauva (ca.1880-1896). <FONT size=2>Nguvauva was born on 01.01.1923 at Maun (Botswana)<FONT size=2>, to Keharanjo Nguvauva and his mother Kavitjindire Nguvauva. He received no formal western education but was educated by his father and father's Advisory Council. He was inducted into upholding tradition and fulfilling traditional Ovaherero rites such as maintaining the holy fire and communicating with his ancestors. He was trained also to be a leader in the sense of being a parent to his community. His education was steeped in the history of the Ovambanderu and his predecessors. Because of his royal lineage his upbringing was aimed at preparing him for an eventual leadership role. He was consequently installed as leader of the Ovambanderu in Botswana in 1951 in accordance with the legacy of the great Chief Kahimemua Nguvauva<FONT size=2> (ca.1880-1896) who was killed opposing German colonial rule.<FONT size=2> Munjuku returned from Botswana in 1952. <FONT size=2>The Ovambanderu (Mbanderu Council) of Epukiro and Aminuis appointed Munjuku Nguvauva II as Ovambanderu Chief on 15.12.1952 at Epukiro Pos 3. <FONT size=2>On 10.10.1960 the Ovambanderu (Mbanderu Council) appointed him as Paramount Chief. In August 1961 the Mbanderu Council managed to obtain SA’s recognition of their leader, but the SWA Administration refused to acknowledge his title of Paramount Chief. When Sam Nujoma went into exile from Windhoek to Botswana in February 1960, he was supported by Munjuku Nguvauva II on his way to Francistown in Botswana. When the Ovambanderu repudiated Stephanus Hoveka, backed by the South African authorities as Paramount Chief, South Africa promised to accept Munjuku Nguvauva II in that position. But, when Munjuku openly called for the independence of Namibia in talks he had with the United Nations Representative Vittorio Carpio in Windhoek in 1962, they reneged on their promise. The then South African Bantu Commissioner, furious at Munjuku's appeal to Carpio, installed<FONT size=2> Gerson Hoveka, who was Stephanus' cousin and whose forefather, Nikanor Hoveka, was appointed by the German authorities as Chief of the Epukiro Reserve, as a rival. This is the cause of a long dispute over the Ovambanderu chieftaincy. Chief Munjuku has consistently refused to serve on any South Africa sponsored government body or advisory council. He rejected several overtures by the South African Government and Prime Minister John Vorster to become a member of the Multi-National Advisory Council for SWA, established on 01.03.1973. The Advisory Council, excluding SWAPO, SWANU and the National Convention, met three times. Clemence Kapuuo rejected it because of its "ethnic" foundation. Munjuku related with relish how he and other communities were wined, dined and feasted with oxen by Vorster at this event. The South Africans, suspecting Munjuku would refuse to co-operate during the Multi-National Advisory Council session, made him the last speaker at the function which stretched over days. When his turn came he told the assembled guests he rejected any attempts by South Africa to solve the Namibian issue since "one cannot rebuild a cracked house on weak foundations - one must first tear the building down before one starts anew." Attempts by the National Party leader Dirk Mudge to include him in the Turnhalle Constitutional Conference in 1975 failed when it became clear that Chief Munjuku would serve under Clemence Kapuuo, Paramount Chief of the Ovaherero. Munjuku found this unacceptable since he considered the Ovambanderu a separate community and would only join as a separate delegation. Mudge and Kapuuo then turned to Headman Elifas Tjingaete as Ovambanderu representative in the Democratic Turnhalle Alliance (DTA) in 1977. Instead, Chief Munjuku Nguvauva II participated in the National Convention (NC) of 1971 and the Namibia National Convention (NNC) of 1974 as well as the 1975 Okahandja Conference. He later took the Mbanderu Council into the opposition Namibia National Front (NNF), and refused to participate in the South Africa sponsored December 1978 general elections. Attempts to include him in the Multi-Party Conference (MPC) of 1983 also failed. He attended the 1984 Lusaka Conference as an observer at the invitation of SWAPO which led to a confrontation with the then Administrator-General Willie van Niekerk. The Mbanderu Council consequently supported SWAPO's aim of an independent Namibia, but after a subsequent meeting with SWAPO leaders in Kabwe in Zambia in November 1988, Munjuku took the Mbanderu Council into an alliance with SWAPO, an alliance which holds until the present day.
