Namibia’s music industry has lost yet another one of its most influential figures with the passing of guitarist and producer Christian Polloni at the age of 67.

Namibia was plunged into two weeks of mourning following the passing of celebrated musician Ras Sheehama, aged 59. 

Sheehama, who was buried on Saturday, left behind a legacy of music that has inspired generations.

Residents of Aminuis in the Omaheke Region gathered on Sunday to pay tribute to the late Headman Petrus Mbaha, who died three decades ago.

Hundreds turned up for the tribute and memorial concert for the late legendary musician, Ras Sheehama, organised by MTC, Nascam, and the Ndilimani Cultural Troupe at the Zoo Park Amphitheatre. 

The family of the late Ras Sheehama, a renowned Namibian musician, has paid tribute to his legacy, urging people to remember him for his outstanding contributions to the country’s music industry and the Swapo Party.

Late music star and Namibian reggae icon, Ras Sheehama, always used his music to convey messages of love and to protest social conditions, leaving consumers of his music with food for thought.

The Namibian Police, together with other mourners, joined the family of the late Police Chief Inspector Riche Karel ||Naobeb in Otjiwarongo to lay him to rest.

||Naobeb, who was the Head of NamPol's VVIP Presidential Escort Division, died last week while on an official mission in Rundu, aged 49.

Cultural and visual artist Papa Shikongeni has called for urgent action to honour legendary artists who often pass away without recognition and under deplorable conditions.

He made the appeal in a tribute to reggae icon Ras Sheehama, who passed away today.

NBC Director General Stanley Similo has expressed deep sorrow following the passing of veteran reggae musician Ras Sheehama, describing him as a friend, a brother, and a pioneer of Namibian music.

President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah has lauded late police officer Chief Inspector Riche Karel ||Naobeb for an exemplary career.
