The Unknown Politician Markus Ndjombo

[edit]

Markus Ndjombo was born 18 March 1935 in the Okahandja dictrict. Even though he claimed to be a Herero, rumours had it that he came as a contract worker in the then South West Africa, to Osona to work on the tobacco fields. His immediate family consisted of various people that he called uncles, brothers and cousins but who he was not related to at all. Being a young man, he worked as a foreman to a group of people on the farms Okaundua, Osona, Okaepe and others in the areas of Gross Barmen. It is during this time that he accommodated a lot of freedom fighters in the Okaepe mountainous areas, feeding them, clothing them and hiding them from the colonial oppressors. Ndjombo could speak Portuguese, Kimbundu, Rukavango, Damara/Nama, German, Afrikaans, and some small dialects like Barakwena fluently.

Why he is known as Ndjombo

[edit]

The name Ndjombo is a name that Markus adopted to remind him of his country of origin. Ndjombo is a forest in Angola. Markus was a freedom fighter who fled Angola as a young boy and hide in Namibia. It is from here that he helped the freedom fighters to attack inside the country and led them safely out to Angola as he knew both countries very well. [edit] How Ndjombo lived his life Markus took various trips to Angola secretly. He would visit Tchitongo, a village where his biological father lived. His grandmother lived in Tchipenwe, 12 km north of the Ndjombo forest


His Children

[edit]

Markus had alot of children, 13 of whom are with Maria Vekeya Katambo. With Maria he has nine daughters and four boys. Apart from those children he adopted many other kids as it is culture in the Namibian communities. All children together are twenty six in different women.


His Death

[edit]

Markus Ndjombo battled with prostate cancer for many years. It is that time that he started mentioning his comrades; comrades he helped into realizing the independence of Namibia. It is that time that he emphasized on the forgotten role players in the history of Namibia. Markus died silently at his house, Okahandja on the 25th July 2012 after a long sick bed.
