Former President Hifikepunye Pohamba joined the family of the late Helao Shityuwete at his home to offer condolences.

The liberation icon and former Robben Island prisoner died aged 92 last Friday.

Herman Toivo Ya Toivo is remembered as one of Namibia's most influential liberation struggle icons – a man known not only for his contribution to the country's independence but also for his strong connection with ordinary people.

For his children, however, his legacy is deeply personal.

The Robben Island Museum is set to unveil a life-size statue of the late liberation icon Andimba Toivo ya Toivo at the reunion of former prisoners on September 27 in South Africa.

Liberation struggle stalwart Heikky Shililifa was buried today at Outapi.

The late Shililifa, who died aged 82, was conferred an official funeral by President Nangolo Mbumba.
