Andreas Lambert

Their cattle died of lung disease, and smallpox befell the Nama community at Gobabis,[2] including much of the Lambert family.

After his grandfather Amraal Lambert died from this disease in 1864, Andreas took over the chieftainship from him and became the leader of the Kaiǀkhauan at the age of 20.

Those Trekboere were in search of political independence from British occupation of the Cape Colony and had ventured into his community's area during their Dorsland Trek.

[2] When Imperial Germany began to colonize South-West Africa, Lambert refused to sign a "protection treaty".

After Edward died in the Battle of Gobabis, the Kaiǀkhauan clan ceased to exist as a unit; its members were taken prisoners and scattered over the country.
