Eliaser Tuhadeleni

Eliaser Inamutwika Noah Tuhadeleni, nom de guerre: Kaxumba ka Ndola (1 January 1918 – 28 November 1997) was a Namibian anti-apartheid activist, guerrilla fighter and political prisoner.

Kaxumba Kandola was born at Omatangela village, Ongenga constituency in the northern part of Namibia, a year after the British-South African forces conquered Oukwanyama kingdom.

Then, Kaxumba closely worked with the Anglican priest, Theophilus Hamutumbangela, writing petitions and sending them to the colonial administration and to the United Nations, complaining about the ill-treatment migrant workers received.

The following year, the leader of OPC, Andimba Toivo ya Toivo, sent a petition to the United Nations through Mburumba Kerina and Michael Scott, based in the United States, complaining about the human rights abuses of the contract labour system and the unlawful occupation of South West Africa by the apartheid government of South Africa.

Following the transformation of OPO into the South West Africa People's Organization (SWAPO) in 1960 many of its leaders went into exile to lobby for support from the international community and to pursue the arms liberation struggle.

In 1966 when one of the first of PLAN guerrilla units arrived in Ovamboland, they stayed at Kaxumba's home for several months before moving off to set up a camp at Omugulugwombashe.
