Mourners gathered at Otjiwarongo to pay their respects to the late Manfred |Uxamb, who was widely regarded as a leader who deeply understood the needs of the people.

The Evangelical Lutheran Church in Otjiwarongo was filled with family, friends, and former colleagues who gathered to bid farewell to the late |Uxamb.

He holds the distinction of being the first black mayor of Otjiwarongo following Namibia's independence and also served as the Chief Executive Officer of the Otjiwarongo municipality.
