Eugene Kudumo of the Ukwangali Traditional Authority has officially been designated as Hompa of the Vakwangali people and succeeded the late Sitentu Mapasi, who died 11 years ago. 

Almost three months after a directive from the Minister of Urban and Rural Development to sort out their chieftaincy dispute, the Dâure Daman Traditional Authority is still far from resolving the matter.

Retired teacher Isaskar Taurob won the controversial Dâure Daman Traditional Authority chieftainship election at Uis in the Erongo Region.

Taurob garnered 403 votes, while Efraim Goseb and Dawid Areseb received 6 and 1 votes, respectively.

The Minister of Urban and Rural Development, James Sankwasa, has stepped in to help resolve the Gciriku traditional leadership succession dispute.

The Gciriku tribe has been without a chief since 2019. 

The chieftainship of the tribe is inherited through the maternal line.

The gazetting of Gilbert Muhongo Mutwa Moraliswani III on the 15th of July by President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah as the Simwine for the Masubia people brings an end to the long succession debate.

The new Simwine of the Masubia Traditional Authority, Gilbert Moraliswani III, has said he will stand on the shoulders of those who fought for the independence of Namibia.

He pledged to carry the responsibility bestowed on him with humility, openness, and respect for other traditional authorities.

In a meeting between the Minister of Urban and Rural Development, James Sankwasa, the Daure Daman Traditional Authority, and a concerned group, it was resolved that the nomination of Chief Sagarias Seibeb was procedurally incomplete.
