President said he learned with sadness of the passing and extended his heartfelt condolences to the family and friends.
\n\"\"<\/a>\u201cOur nation has lost a key figure, a man of gravity and a great unifier who dedicated his entire life to serving others. Omukwaniilwa Kauluma, a leader I have known for decades, has been a fatherly figure, a friend, a sage, and a man of dignity. He did not only care about those who fell under his Traditional Authority, but treated everyone with affection and compassion. I am saddened by the loss. A big tree has fallen. But as he said, don\u2019t\u2019 cry for me, cry for yourselves, make peace with one another in the Ondonga Traditional Authority, and as Namibians,\u201d President Geingob said.
\nOn Wednesday President Hage G. Geingob conferred the honour of Official Funeral on the king who passed away on 26 March 2019 at Onandjokwe Lutheran Hospital at the age of 86.
