Likeable, dignified, collected, distinguished and cool-headed - that is how I can sum up the character of the first Governor of Oshikoto Region, Reverend Hosea Nampala, affectionately known as HN (pronounced Hee Nee).
HN was born on 15 May 1927 in Onamulunga, Oniipa, Oshikoto Region to David Nampala and Maria Enkali. He belonged to the Aakwanambwa clan of the royal family of the Uukwaluudhi Traditional Authority.
