Chief Johannes Boy 'Attas' Mangani, of the Riemvasmakers traditional community in Namibia, died of a heart attack on Sunday. He was 80 years old. He was described a true champion and gentle fighter for the official recognition of his traditional community by the Namibian Government since 1999 when he succeeded the late headman, Jakob Basson, who was ill at that time. Born on 6 February 1940, Chief Johannes Mangani was the last living leader of the legendary Big Five Headmen of the Community who led the community back to South West Africa during their forced removal from Apartheid South Africa in 1973 and 1974. The family and Riemvasmaker Traditional Community Leadership are yet to decide on the funeral date as per customary practice.
