The remains of two Namibians who died while imprisoned on Robben Island and were buried in Cape Town, South Africa, are to be exhumed and repatriated before 26 August 2026.

The Minister of Defence and Veterans Affairs commissioned the exhumation and re-interment committee at the Defence Headquarters in Windhoek.

Before the commissioning, Frans Kapofi instituted and appointed retired Major General Charles Namoloh as Chairperson of the Committee.
