James Kauluma

James Hamupanda Kauluma (1 July 1933 – 4 April 2007) was a Namibian human rights activist and sixth bishop of the Anglican Diocese of Namibia.

Since the diocesan (Winter) and assistant (Wood) were both foreigners, they could be prevented from re-entering Namibia; whereas as a citizen, Kauluma could not.

After the death of Colin Winter in 1981, Kauluma was elected diocesan bishop, the first Namibian to hold that office.

[1] In 1983, Kauluma received an honorary doctorate of divinity from the General Theological Seminary in New York.

[4] Kauluma retired from public life in 1998 and died from prostate cancer on 4 April 2007 at the Windhoek Medi-Clinic.
