After the death of Fwe (Mafwe) King Richard Muhinda in 1987, he was succeeded by Mamili Boniface Bebi (1987-1999) who originated from Linyanti. He was the sixth in the recorded genealogy of the Mafwe kings. Bebi won an election against his opposition candidate, George Simasiku. Boniface Bebi was involved into the secessionist coup d'etat against the Republic of Namibia to create an independent state of Caprivi in 1998. In October 1998 he fled, together with other instigators of the coup d'etat, (Mishake Muyongo, for instance) to Botswana. Botswana granted Bebi political asylum in February 1999. In May 1999 Denmark granted political asylum to Boniface Bebi and other Caprivi secessionists. Bebi was followed by Mamili George Simasiku (1999-).

Hans Beukes was a leader of the Baster community after the Second World War. He was one of the first petitioners to the United Nations. During 1956 the International Court of Justice at the Hague (ICJ) continued to deal with the SWA problem in an advisory capacity. It confirmed the United Nations General Assembly’s right to adopt resolutions on SWA, and to grant oral hearings to petitioners (Michael Scott, Mburumba Kerina (Getzen), Jariretundu Kozonguizi, Hans Beukes, Markus Kooper, Sam Nujoma, Ismael Fortune, Jacob Kuhangua and Hosea Kutako). This gave new impetus to the political socialisation and consciousness of "black" leaders in Namibia. In 1959 the Herero Chiefs’ Council sent Hans Beukes and Jariretundu Kozonguizi to the UN as representatives of a future independent Namibia. In 1963 some Ovaherero spokesmen in contact with Kerina and Beukes, discussed the formation of a new political party.

Beukes, Hermanus Christoffel
[Nickname Oom Maans Beukes]
* 20.06.1913 at Rehoboth
+ 22.07.2004 at Rehoboth

Hermanus Christoffel Beukes was born on 20.06.1913 at Rehoboth. His father was the second cousin of Samuel Jacobus Beukes (Koos Petisie) who was the first petitioner to the forerunner of the United Nations, the League of Nations, just after World War One. Hermanus Beukes received only three years of formal schooling and was educated further by his mother. A formative political experience was when, with the Baster community besieged by South African forces in 1925 - who were imposing their authority on Rehoboth - he was called into service at the age of 11 years to ferry messages to and from on horseback on the unfolding crisis. By trade he was a shoemaker (he produced the famous "veldskoene") who refused during his life time to shut up. He was a resolute and outspoken opponent of South Africa's rule over Namibia. After the United Nations were established in 1945, Beukes was one of the first Namibians to petition the world body with arguments that South Africa was not adhering to its obligations in terms of the mandate of the League of Nations and therefore its rule over Namibia was illegal. During this process he kept the issue of South Africa's disputed control over South West Africa on the UN's agenda. One of Hermanus Beukes's sons, Hans Beukes, went to the UN in turn to make the case for Namibian independence. Hans Beukes addressed the United Nations General Assembly in 1959, after the Herero Chiefs’ Council sent him and Jariretundu Kozonguizi to the UN as representatives of a future independent Namibia. When in July 1963 the South African Police's Special branch arrived in Rehoboth to arrest the community leader and Rehoboth's medical doctor, Kenneth Abrahams, Hermanus Beukes was instrumental in getting the Rehoboth community to congregate in large numbers at Abraham's house to avoid his arrest. Abrahams was eventually smuggled out of the house with Beukes's help, and took refuge in the veld for a few days until the order for his arrest had been revoked. At this stage, Beukes and Abrahams were both members of the SWAPO party and had, for months, been recruiting people to be sent into exile for military training. About a week later Kenneth Abrahams, together with Hermanus Beukes, Andreas Shipanga and the Baster Paul Smit, headed east, to go into exile via Botswana. It was after they had crossed safely into Botswana that South African agents kidnapped them and returned them to Namibia, setting off a chain of events that eventually caught the attention of the British Government. At that stage, Abrahams was in Cape Town, where he was to be charged with sabotage and faced a certain jail term on Robben Island. While he fought against his arrest in a Cape Town court, the Namibian SWAPO members, including Hermanus Beukes, were being helped in the Gobabis court by Advocate Bryan O'Linn. Embarrassed and under British pressure, the South African Government finally relented, and the four Namibians were released and returned to Botswana. Beukes had planned to travel to New York to make his and Namibia's case at the United Nations, but he never came so far. After a stint in a refugee camp in Francis Town in Botswana, he chose to return home because he found it hard to adjust to the foreign environment. Hermanus Beukes returned to Rehoboth where he remained vociferously opposed to South African rule over Namibia. In 1977 or 1978 he had a meeting with South Africa's first Administrator General, Judge M.T. Steyn, at the same time that one of his sons, Hewat Beukes, was detained without trial at Gobabis. Instead of using his audience with Steyn to plead on behalf of his son, Beukes chose to accuse Steyn that the South Africans had left a trail of blood from the Oranje River in the south to the northern border of Namibia ever since they had arrived in SWA in 1915. A week later his son Hewat was released. Hermanus Beukes was never a Baster nationalist but he was a Namibian first and foremost. He was widowed in 1984 and had two daughters and eighth sons, four sons died before him. He died on 22.07.2004 at the age of 91 years at Rehoboth and was, under strong Namibian government presence, buried at Rehoboth on 31.07.2004.

Johannes Beukes was a leader of the Baster community during and after the First World War. On 15.04.1915 the Basters rose against the Germans as a result of a secret meeting between Botha and Baster Captain Cornelius van Wyk on 01.04.1915. The Basters ware specifically dissatisfied that the "Baster Corps" which fought on the German side against the South African forces, was used to guard a prisoners of war camp in Otjiwarongo. In Schlip, Pieter Mouton collected all available able-bodied Basters to proceed to Sam-Khubis. The Germans, on their way to Sam-Khubis, attacked the Basters at Heuras, Uitdraai and Kabirab. Among the Basters fighting the Germans were Samuel and Johannes Beukes. On 05.04.1915, during the Baster rebellion against the Union of South Africa, SA war planes threatened to attack Rehoboth. There was no bloodshed and a complete surrender followed. Martial law was declared, and 632 people including Basters (289), Ovaherero (218), Nama (75) and Dama (50) were detained. Johannes and Samuel Beukes landed up with 42 other Basters before a South African firing squad but were saved when the League of Nations intervened literally at the last minute.

Samuel Jacobus Beukes was a leader of the Baster community during and after the First World War. Between 1904 until the outbreak of the war he worked as a post office messenger. On 15.04.1915 the Basters rose against the Germans as a result of a secret meeting between Botha and Baster Captain Cornelius van Wyk on 01.04.1915. The Baster were specifically dissatisfied that the "Baster Corps" which fought on the German side against the South African forces, was used to guard a prisoners of war camp in Otjiwarongo. In Schlip, Pieter Mouton collected all available able-bodied Basters to proceed to Sam-Khubis. The Germans, on their way to Sam-Khubis, attacked the Basters at Heuras, Uitdraai and Kabirab. Among the Basters fighting the Germans were Samuel and Johannes Beukes. On 05.02.1919 the Basters of Rehoboth requested the Governor-General of the Union of South Africa to place them under direct British protection, like Basutoland. This request was not granted. Samuel Beukes was the first indigene to petition the League of Nations for independence for the Rehoboth Basters. The South Africans nicknamed Beukes "Koos Petisie". When the United Nations replaced the League of Nations in 1945, Beukes continued his petitions. He set a precedent for the later petitions of Hosea Kutako. On 05.04.1915, during the Baster rebellion against the Union of South Africa, SA war planes threatened to attack Rehoboth. There was no bloodshed and a complete surrender followed. Martial law was declared, and 632 people including Basters (289), Ovaherero (218), Nama (75) and Dama (50) were detained. Johannes and Samuel Beukes landed up with 42 other Basters before a South African firing squad but were saved when the League of Nations intervened literally at the last minute. In 1928 he became a member of the Baster Council. He continued to petition the United Nations after the Second World War. In May 1962 the UN representatives de Alva and Carpio approached Samuel Beukes in order to give witness on the Namibia case. Beukes died at the age of 75 years in December 1965 in Rehoboth.

Otto Eduard Leopold von Bismarck was the German Imperial Chancellor (Reichskanzler) from 1871 to 1890. He was a conservative Prussian landlord and politician and Prussian Prime Minister from 1848 to 1871. He was widely hailed as the "founder of the [Second] German Empire" in the German-French War of 1870/71, he became its first Chancellor under the Emperors Wilhelm I, Friedrich III and Wilhelm II. He was forced by Wilhelm II to resign in 1890 following disagreements in foreign policy regarding the attitude towards England and Russia. Bismarck was initially against German colonial acquisitions, but changed his attitude in 1884 by extending the Empire's "protection" to German commercial interests in several overseas countries. However, his intention was not to set up a fully-fledged colonial administration but rather to leave the further development of the colonies to private companies. Only after the apparent failure of this policy, and under Bismarck's successor Chancellor Caprivi from 1890 on, did the German Empire embark upon a more active colonial policy and administration.

Abbé Breuil was born on 28.02.1877 at Mortain in France. He was a Catholic priest and internationally renowned prehistorian, visited Namibian rock art sites in 1947, 1948 and 1950, together with his assistant Mary Boyle and Ernst Scherz. He was instrumental in the popularisation of the Brandberg rock paintings, in particular the "White Lady" (which however depicts a male person). Fascinated by their artistic quality, but misled by the inherently racist assumption that such art could not have been executed by local southern African people, he endorsed the (now discredited) theory of a Mediterranean origin of the artists, which was put forward by the first European who saw the painting in 1918, Reinhard Maack. Breuil published several volumes of copies taken from the Brandberg paintings. He died on 4.08.1961 at L'Isle-Adam in France.

---
Peter Heinrich Brincker was born on 09.02.1836 at Isselshorst near Gütersloh in Germany. He was a missionary of the Rheinische Missionsgesellschaft. He was trained at the mission seminary in Barmen, ordained (09.02.1862) and sent to South Africa in 1862. He arrived in Namibia 1863, stationed alternatively at Otjimbingwe (arrival: 12.09.1863, shortly after the outbreak of the Ovaherero-Nama War of the 1860s), Otjikango and Okahandja between 1863-1879. During a visit to Stellenbosch in February 1864, he married Johanna Knab of Ebenezer in the Cape Colony. He started off by making a thorough study of the Otjiherero language. After his marriage he arrived at the mission station of Otjikango which was founded by Carl Hugo Hahn in 1844. Brincker decided to resume work at the mission which Hahn had been compelled to abandon in 1859. Because of the frequent attacks by the Orlam Afrikaners, Brincker was forced, not less than seven times, to leave Otjikango in fear of his life. In August 1865 the ||Hawoben leader Hendrik Henricks attacked Otjikango and took Brincker hostage. Brincker reported later that Chief Hendrik took a strong anti-missionary attitude: "What are you doing here in this country? I don’t want this." In 1866 he returned to Otjimbingwe but went back to Otjikango a few months later after a community of the Ovambanderu had unexpectedly settled at the station. Brincker's attempts to convert them to Christianity were defeated when the Ovambanderu decided to join Chief Kamaharero Maharero at Okahandja. Brincker again went to Otjimbingwe until 1869 when he returned to Otjikango which he rebuilt, erecting a school and a church there. On 23.09.1870 Namibian leaders (Jan Jonker Afrikaner, Maharero, Kido Witbooi of Gibeon, David Christian Frederiks of Bethany and Jakobus Isaak of Berseba) and missionaries (Hahn, Diehl and Irle of Okahandja, Brincker of Otjikango, Olpp of Gibeon, seven Finns and the trader C. Conrath) organised a peace conference at Okahandja. A treaty was signed in which Jan Jonker was designated "co-regent", i.e. Maharero’s subordinate. Ten years of peace followed. Brincker stayed at Otjikango until 1878. In 1875 his translation of the Psalms into Otjiherero was published in Cape Town. After a trip to Germany 1879-1880, he took over the heading of the Augustineum at Otjimbingwe from missionary Büttner until 1889, when missionary Viehe took over. He was transferred to the Cape Colony in 1890 and retired 1892 to live in Stellenbosch. Brincker was an accomplished linguist, who translated the bulk of the New Testament into Otjiherero. His Otjiherero-German dictionary remains a standard work. In 1899 the University of Cape Town awarded him an honorary doctorate in literature. Brincker actively supported the German colonisation of Namibia. In 1889 he authored a memorandum to Chancellor Bismarck which advocated the stationing of a strong military contingent in the colony. He died on 26.11.1904 at Stellenbosch in South Africa.

Carl Gotthilf Büttner was born on 24.12.1848 at Königsberg (East Prussia in Germany, now Russian Federation). He studied theology. He joined the Rhenish Missionary Society in 1870, and was sent to Namibia in 1873 to head the Augustineum in Otjimbingwe (from 01.02.1873 to 17.07.1880) as successor of Carl Hugo Hahn. He landed at Walvis Bay on 23.01.1872. In 1879 the missionaries Brincker and Büttner completed their translation of the New Testament into the Otjiherero language. He returned to Germany in 1880 to become pastor in Wormditt near Königsberg and returned to Namibia on official mission in 1884/1885 with "Reichskommissar" Dr. Heinrich Göring to negotiate for various "protection treaties" with Namibian communities. Büttner mainly concentrated on "protection treaties" in Namaland. In 1884/85 he discovered the rock paintings at Ameib in the Erongo Mountains (Philips Cave)(C1 Period: between 4400 and 1200 BC). In June 1885 Büttner tried to conclude a private treaty with the Chief of the Bondelswarts (!Gami-#nun), Wilhelm Christian, but was however unsuccessful because Christian did not want to lose his good links with the Government of the Cape Colony. On 28.07.1885 a protection treaty was concluded between Jakobus Isaak of Berseba and Büttner. On 02.09. a further protection treaty was concluded between Manasse !Noreseb of Hoachanas (!Hoaxa!nâs) and him. On 21.10.1885 a protection treaty was concluded between Maharero of Okahandja and Heinrich Göring in the presence of Secretary Nels and missionaries Diehl and Büttner. Göring later noted that Diehl and Büttner convinced Maharero even though he (Göring) had his doubts that Maharero has the right to sign on behalf of all Hereroland. On 03.11.1885 a protection treaty was concluded between Manasse Tyiseseta of Omaruru and Göring in the presence of missionary Büttner. In spite of this treaty, Manasse managed to maintain a polity independent from the Germans and Maharero. This independence was based on sound trade links with the Cape Colony for arms and ammunition as well as a disciplined armed force. In the late 1880s, following the arrival of German colonial forces in central SWA, Manasse Tyiseseta continued to seek political independence. In December 1885 Büttner demanded that Hendrik Witbooi should be "eliminated" as he constituted a major threat to all German interests in the territory. From 1886 to 1889 he was the Inspector of the German-East African Mission Society (Bethel Mission), then teacher at the Seminar für Orientalische Sprachen in Berlin. He has published numerous (mainly linguistic) publications. He died on 12.12.1893 at Berlin in Germany. He was married to Maria Büttner, née David.
