During colonial time of German South West Africa the missionary station and settlement was known as the Capital of the North.

Both the church and the mission station buildings are still existent and have been declared National Monuments of Namibia in 1992.

The missionary station houses the Nakambale Museum, and the church, although not anymore in regular use, is infrequently utilised for wedding ceremonies.

[1][2][3] With more than five schools now and a new Regional councillor, Darius "Mbolondondo" Shikongo, Olukonda became a very large and developed village.

There is a clinic now close to the Nakambale Museum and also the Lyaangula Centre named after a pastor Efraim Angula with an office for gender equality.
