A King For Uukwambi

THE Uukwambi people need a king for them to have good history, proper ways of leading the nation, and also for the future generation to engage and participate fully in traditional norms and values.

There is a saying in Oshiwambo which goes “Omukwambi ka ninga lenga” which simply means it is impossible for the Kwambi person to be a leader. Let us do away with this saying and face the reality.Let us have our king then we can have time to visit the palace as often as we want and teach the upcoming generation how they should enhance good examples and know the do’s and don’ts of Oshikwambi culture.Our traditional leaders should find ways as to how we can go about this and look at the current leaders from Uukwambi and do thorough evaluation and scrutiny then the nomination can at least start as early next year.Alfred Shitenda Omapopo-OnaandaLet us do away with this saying and face the reality.Let us have our king then we can have time to visit the palace as often as we want and teach the upcoming generation how they should enhance good examples and know the do’s and don’ts of Oshikwambi culture.Our traditional leaders should find ways as to how we can go about this and look at the current leaders from Uukwambi and do thorough evaluation and scrutiny then the nomination can at least start as early next year.Alfred Shitenda Omapopo-Onaanda
