Max Endjala, who has been implicated in Saturday’s Namib Desert Diamonds (Namdia) heist, has been described as a humble guy who lightened the burdens of everyone he met.
This was said by his brother, Sergio Browny, who spoke at Endjala’s memorial service on in Windhoek on Tuesday.
“To us, the name we used to call him was Artul Neves Torres. To us, he was a very humble person, who was given the light,” Browny said.
Endjala was an internal and forensics investigation unit chief operations officer at Trustco Group Holdings.
The Namibian Police on Saturday evening confirmed that Endjala was involved in the Namdia heist and that he died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Dr Nelson Herunga, a close friend of Endjala, said he was an athletic person who attributed his success as a top squash player to discipline and dedication.
“He said he wanted to become the number one top squash player in the country and that is the spot he held until his last day,” he said.
Endjala is survived by his wife and four children. He was one of six brothers and four sisters.
His funeral will be held at Oluteyi village in the Omusati region on Saturday.
