The tombstone unveiling for freedom fighter, Kephes Harry "King Jury" Conradie, was held on Saturday morning at Katutura Cemetery in Dolam, marking the 11th anniversary of his death.

Conradie, born in 1937 in Windhoek's Old Location, was a notable figure in Namibia's liberation struggle. 

He is described as a fearless activist who rose to prominence during the 1959 Old Location Uprising, where he stood firm against forced removals and apartheid oppression. 

Throughout his life, he championed justice, identity and land rights.

Known for his role in founding political movements like Voice of the People and the Namibia People's Liberation Front, Conradie also represented Namibia at numerous international forums, including the United Nations and the 1979 Geneva Conference. 

Post-independence, he served in Namibia's first Parliament and several of its key standing committees.

Beyond politics, he was a cultural leader and football administrator who believed in sport as a tool for unity. 

Conradie chaired the Damara King's Council and mentored generations of young leaders.

Today's unveiling ceremony was attended by family and members of the broader community.
