The late Jackson Kaujeua Jr. was remembered for his golden voice and applauded for following in the footprints of his father, the late liberation icon Jackson Kaujeua, to keep the legacy alive.

Kaujeua Jr. died on the 7th of September in Norway and was buried today at Okangili Cemetery in the Oshikoto Region.

He was born in Zambia's capital, Lusaka, in November 1978. He lived in Norway, where he played and taught music classes, thus putting Namibia on the world map.

Speakers at his memorial service at Okatope in the Onyaanya Constituency described him as a proud African man who valued his roots and tradition.

A unifier, generous, and reserved person who loved his family dearly are some of the character attributes that people remembered about the late musical maestro.

Kaujeua Jr's children said their father taught them to be true to themselves and to carry his songs forward and keep his legacy alive. 

His mother, in her last message to her late son, said his laughter was contagious, and his spirit was uplifting. 

She thanked him for giving his children the foundation of Africanism.

Namibia Society of Composers and Authors of Music (NASCAM)'s Interim Board Chairperson Joseph Ailonga described the late folklore musician as a remarkable person and a musician of note.

He added that Kaujeua became a NASCAM member in August 2004, and he had three songs registered with the organisation.

Salomo Mulenga, speaking on behalf of friends, stated that the music industry has been severely impacted this year due to the sudden deaths of three legends: Ras Sheehama, Jackson Junior, and guitarist and producer Christian Polloni.

Namibia Exile Kids Association (NEKA) President Kadiva Hamutumwa, in a message of condolences delivered on her behalf, said the deceased's life was a true testament to resilience.

Kaujeua Junior is survived by his mother and three children.
