The late Axali Doëseb was buried at Pioneerspark Cemetery in Windhoek.

Doëseb died at the age of 68 on the 27th of last month.

Family and friends gathered at Pioneerspark Cemetery to bid farewell to the composer and author of Namibia's National Anthem, Axali Doëseb.

The Minister in the Presidency, Christine ||Hoëbes, said the composer's work has become the national identity that resonates in the minds of all Namibians, reminding them of their shared heritage.

In a poignant tribute, the congregants of the Tanidare Church, together with the Otjomuise Brass Band, resonated memories of a musical legacy as they paid their final respects to the renowned late music conductor, Axali Doëseb.

In this same church, while leading the brass band, Axali Doëseb recently stood and informed them that it would be his last time conducting them.

Little did anyone know that these prophetic words held a cryptic and sad meaning.

Family and friends paid tribute to the late renowned musician Axali Doëseb as they gathered at the ELRCN's Bet-El Parish in Katutura to celebrate his life through church songs, many of which he composed.

The composer of the Namibian National Anthem "Namibia Land of the Brave," Doëseb, was described as a determined yet humble teacher and a fighter.

The 69-year-old musician was a motivator, and his work was recognised not only within the country but across borders.

The Presidency has clarified the writer status of Axali Doëseb, who is also the composer of Namibia's National Anthem.
