Timeline

1904

As Okahandja Herero, Riruako has led an Effort to receive compensation from the Government of Germany for the Herero massacre between 1904 and 1907 in the same manner that Jews have received compensation for their Holocaust.

Germany ruled this out, but he won a formal apology from the German government.

1935

Kuaima Isaac Riruako (24 April 1935 – 2 June 2014) was a Namibian politician and the paramount chief of the Herero people.

Riruako was born into the Tjamuaha-Maharero royal family on 24 April 1935 in the settlement of Otjewe in the Aminuis Constituency.

His birth name was Issaskar Kakuremdiro; the name Kuaima he assumed later in life after his grandfather.

1960

He attended school at St. Barnabas Primary in Windhoek and at the end of the 1960s went on to study at the Kwame Nkumah School of Ideology in Accra, Ghana.

He also obtained an Associate BA from the New York University.

Stemming from his traditional upbringing in rural South-West Africa, Riruako had vast knowledge of indigenous knowledge, folklore, history, and family lineages.

According to family folklore, Riruako had several revelations during his life.

1966

He is said to have foretold the assassination of Hendrik Verwoerd in 1966, and a further revelation allegedly saved his life when he was left for dead on the uninhabited Zambian Mombova Island.

After 14 days without food and water, it is said that he was told to stand upright on the tiny island, an action that alerted local fishermen that came to investigate where the second "tree" on that island suddenly came from.

1978

After the assassination of Clemens Kapuuo in 1978, Riruako became Paramount Chief of the Herero.

He remained in that position until his death.

2003

In September 2003, NUDO withdrew from the DTA, with Riruako accusing the DTA of failing to work for Herero interests; Riruako became President of NUDO as an independent party on 18 September 2003, and he resigned from the National Assembly in the same month.

2004

He served as a National Unity Democratic Organisation (NUDO) representative in Parliament, and he was the President of NUDO and its presidential candidate in the 2004 presidential election, placing fourth with 4.23% of the national vote.

2005

He was subsequently elected as a NUDO candidate in the November 2004 parliamentary election and served for a second period in the National Assembly beginning on 20 March 2005.

2008

In November 2008, Riruako's home in Aminuis burnt to the ground, killing two of his grandchildren.

An elderly woman was saved from the burning home by community members.

Riruako was not home at the time of the fire.

After this incident the community decided to help their Chief by donating money and other types of donations to him.
