SENIOR Traditional Councilor and head of the Okongo district of the Oukwanyama Traditional Authority, Stefanus Weyulu, has passed away.
According to family spokespersons, he died at the Oshakati Intermediate Hospital on Tuesday at the age of “over 90 years.”
The late Weyulu, a descendant of the Oukwanyama King Weyulu ya Hedimbi, who reigned from 1882 until 1904, was one of the longest-serving and most influential senior headmen of Oukwanyama. In the 1990s, he spearheaded the restoration of the Oukwanyama monarchy, which had been without a reigning monarch since the death in combat of King Mandume ya Ndemufayo in February 1917.
