The Ovambanderu community and other members of the public converged on Okahandja last weekend to mark the 130th anniversary of the execution of erstwhile Ovambanderu leader Kahimemua Nguvauva.

Nguvauva was executed by firing squad on June 12, 1896, in Okahandja.

As the family of the late President Geingob continues to receive condolences and tributes, the Ovambanderu community, led by Eben Nguvauva, also extended its condolences to the former First Lady and the late President's family.

Nguvauva says the president's death was painful and shocking to them.
