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. HN grew up at Oshigambo where he attended elementary school. After obtaining a certificate from the Teacher's Seminary at Oniipa in 1948, he briefly taught at Ontananga before furthering his education at the Strydom Training Institute in Bloemfontein, from 1950 to 1952.
