Hompa Sofia Mundjembwe Kanyetu of the VaShambyu Traditional Authority was coronated at Kayengona Village in the Kavango East Region over the weekend.

Kayengona village was alive with songs and dances as visitors from near and far joined to celebrate the coronation of Hompa Sofia Mundjembwe Kanyetu.

The VaShambyu have been without a state-recognized leader for close to eight years.

The Supreme Court recently ruled in favour of Hompa Mundjembwe Kanyetu after a succession dispute between members of the royal family.
