He was just a remarkable man and anyone in his presence could not help but feel the greatness and kindness he exuded. He had a wicked sense of humour and considered his words very carefully.\u201d Jacobie said.<br \/>\nHe said Namibia lost a remarkable man and as time passes, People will realize how big his footprint really was and how huge his shadow still falls.<br \/>\nThe late Kauluma was a trend-setter in many aspects.<br \/>\nHe was one of the pioneers of Namibia\u2019s liberation politics with the likes of Herman Toivo Ya Toivo; was fluent in English at a time when the majority of traditional leaders spoke through interpreters and, being himself Oshikwanyama-speaking, was the chairman of the Ondonga Traditional Authority until he was dismissed together with three other senior traditional councillors in 2017. It is a dismissal they disputed in the High Court and the case is still pending.<br \/>\nIn recent interviews with Informant\u00e9, the late Kauluma attributed his \u201cpurported dismissal\u201d by King Elifas to \u201cpower-hungry individuals\u201d who attempted to drive a wedge between himself and his friend King Elifas whom he served with loyalty for many years.<br \/>\nHe said that their friendship was solid and impenetrable and dates from their childhood.<br \/>\nAsino announced that the memorial service will take place at late Kauluma\u2019s traditional homestead at Ongula yaNetanga on Friday and the funeral service will be held in the local Anglican Parish on Saturday.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Placido Hilukilwa A VERY good person.
