The ruling Swapo Party remembers the late Rehabeam Auala as a kind-hearted comrade who imparted his wisdom and knowledge to the party.

Auala, a retired University of Namibia (UNAM) professor and well-versed academic of more than four decades, served as a member at the Windhoek East District Elders Council, until his death at age 75 on Friday in Windhoek.

This senior intellectual and academic author also served at national level, as a member of Swapo’s Central Committee Elders Council.

In a condolence letter issued today, the political party sent their well wishes to the professor’s loved ones.

This knowledgeable professor received countless awards at local, regional, and international levels.

He left an impressive academic record which commenced when he obtained his primary school certificate at Ongwediva college in 1971, his Bachelor of Arts from the University of the North now known as the University of Limpopo in 1975, and his Master’s in Education and Doctorate of Philosophy in Educational Management and Administration, Supervision and Curriculum Development from the Miami University in 1983 and 1986, respectively.

He served as dean at the UNAM Faculty of Education where he spearheaded the implementation of the merger of four former colleges of education with the Education Faculty of UNAM.
