Standing at the foot of the grave of Chief Hosea Kutako at the Sacred Shrine in Okahandja, when asked where he would eventually wish to be buried, Kerina – who many assumed would have preferred a heroes send off at the Heroes Acre on the outskirts of Windhoek – makes a shocking revelation.<\/p>\n

I cannot be buried anywhere else, except next to my benefactors,\u201d he said, while demonstrating contempt and disqualified Heroe\u2019s Acre as a possible burial site for himself.<\/p>\n
