From being a gang leader to a free man, arguably Namibia's most renowned inmate, Ninja, is released from prison.

This is after 25 years locked inside the Windhoek Correctional Facility.

Having completed his sentence for murder, Paulus Shimweefeleni commended staff at the Windhoek correctional facility for helping him become the changed man he claims to have become.

Accompanied by correctional officers, Shimweefeleni could not contain his emotions as he took his first steps outside of prison.
