Congrats To The Chief And King

PARAMOUNT Chief, Kuaima Riruako and King Elifas Kauluma must be congratulated Allow me a space in your newspaper to express my gratitude with these two traditional leaders.

Firstly, Herero Paramount Chief, Kuaima Riruako travelled all the way to the north, Ondonga, to invite his counterpart, King Elifas Kauluma to attend the Herero genocide commemoration. Secondly, Ondonga King, Elifas Kauluma, accepted the invitation and travelled all the way to the south, Okakarara, in order to commemorate the Hamakari Battle on August 14, 2004 with our brothers and sisters there.When our traditional leaders embrace each other then it promotes unity among tribes and communities.The gathering that has attracted a crowd of about 10 000 people has shown that our traditional leaders have considered their historical and moral responsibility to look after all the people under their jurisdiction.I wish that this humble beginning be extended to include all other traditional leaders who were not present.It is very good that even people themselves have realised that what had divided them, was and is politics.The traditional leaders need to be vigilant against the political conspiracy and manipulation that disunites their people.Stefanus Nande Mvula OndangwaSecondly, Ondonga King, Elifas Kauluma, accepted the invitation and travelled all the way to the south, Okakarara, in order to commemorate the Hamakari Battle on August 14, 2004 with our brothers and sisters there.When our traditional leaders embrace each other then it promotes unity among tribes and communities.The gathering that has attracted a crowd of about 10 000 people has shown that our traditional leaders have considered their historical and moral responsibility to look after all the people under their jurisdiction.I wish that this humble beginning be extended to include all other traditional leaders who were not present.It is very good that even people themselves have realised that what had divided them, was and is politics.The traditional leaders need to be vigilant against the political conspiracy and manipulation that disunites their people.Stefanus Nande Mvula Ondangwa
