WARNING: This is Version 1 of my old archive, so Photos will NOT work and many links will NOT work. But you can find articles by searching on the Titles. There is a lot of information in this archive. Use the SEARCH BAR at the top right. Prior to December 2012; I was a pro-Christian type of Conservative. I was unaware of the mass of Jewish lies in history, especially the lies regarding WW2 and Hitler. So in here you will find pro-Jewish and pro-Israel material. I was definitely WRONG about the Boeremag and Janusz Walus. They were for real.

THE young traditional chief of the Ovambanderu community, Keharanjo II Nguvauva, yesterday denied that he was kidnapped on Saturday from his older brother’s Katutura house and said he was well and also did not go on a hunger strike as was claimed.
He admitted that he had recently received death threats, though.
“Some people from his faction made the threat and said ‘you die’ to me”, he told reporters yesterday, hinting at his older brother.
Keharanjo convened a press conference in Katutura, surrounded by a big crowd. A strong Police presence was in the background and had cordoned off the street.
The 24-year-old Keharanjo, who is locked in a succession dispute with his older half brother, Deputy Fisheries Minister Kilus Nguvauva, is said to have had plans last week to abdicate as chief and leave the leadership post to Kilus after having been under pressure for the past few months due to the split the dispute has caused in the community. Their father, Chief Munjuku Nguvauva, died in January 2008.
Keharanjo was allegedly prevented from carrying out his intention to abdicate by those who support him and whisked away on Saturday morning from the house of Kilus Nguvauva, sources close to the Nguvauva clan said yesterday.
Kilus Nguvauva held a hastily convened press conference on Sunday afternoon where he alleged that Keharanjo had been kidnapped by his own mother, Aletha Nguvauva, and that he had informed the Police about the ‘kidnapping’ as he feared for his half-brother’s safety.
Another relative, Cecil Nguvauva, claimed the young chief was rudely pushed into a car and “guards were put around the vehicle” until it drove off with him Saturday.
“His cellphone and his bank cards were also taken from him,” Cecil Nguvauva alleged.
Kilus Nguvauva said he had received desperate SMS messages from Keharanjo during last week, asking Kilus to move him from Gobabis to Windhoek because people were allegedly after him.
“He is apparently contemplating suicide and he is on a hunger strike,” Kilus told reporters on Sunday. He further accused the Keharanjo supporters, also called the Concerned Group, of being in consultations “with one of the high offices of the country”.
Sources close to the Kilus group told The Namibian yesterday that the Concerned Group led by Senior Ovambanderu Traditional Councillor Erastus Kahuure had turned to former President Sam Nujoma, who is said to favour Keharanjo as chief, for intervention.
Nujoma was said to be in northern Namibia over the weekend and the meeting with him is allegedly taking place later this week.
Yesterday Keharanjo told the huge crowd in Katutura that what Kilus did, was “regrettable”, “a ploy” and a “cheap public relations exercise”.
“I was offered a fully paid scholarship to further study in the USA by Kilus, which would have meant I would be out of Namibia for a long time,” said Keharanjo, who is a lawyer, adding that he had declined the offer.
“I exposed myself to elements within the Ovambanderu community I trusted who I am convinced now in retrospect were leading me in a spiral of undesirable conduct. The last two months have been quite testing on my personality and this at one point culminated in the intervention of some prominent members of the Ovambanderu community and family members,” Keharanjo hinted at his alleged kidnapping.
“I went voluntarily and peacefully on Saturday,” he added.
Before the events came to a head on Saturday, Keharanjo said he had received threats and “offers of all kinds and bribes” and people even wanted to blackmail him.
“There is no doubt who the legitimate successor to the throne should be. If I were not the one, why all of a sudden should I be the one to hand over the chieftainship?” he asked.
Last year a Government commission investigated the succession claims and came to the conclusion that Keharanjo was the rightful heir to the title of chief.
The Kilus faction rejected the findings.
Local and Regional Government Minister Jerry Ekandjo recently said that according to the Traditional Authorities Act, the community could opt for an election.
This will be discussed by the acting Ovambanderu Chief Peter Nguvauva and his supreme council this coming weekend near Epukiro.
The annual commemoration of the Ovambanderus at Okahandja, which usually takes place around June 12, has been cancelled, just like last year, because of the ongoing succession dispute.
