A veteran of the liberation struggle, Paulus Dumeni, was buried at the Eenhana Omafo cemetery in Ohangwena Region.

He was conferred an official funeral by President Geingob, who described him as a compassionate person and a useful man of purpose.

Dumeni was born in 1946 and died on May 8, 2023, at Engela district hospital in the Ohangwena Region.

The late Dumeni began his revolutionary activities at a young age when he joined the Swapo Party in 1960.
