Produktinformationen zu „Mukwahepo (ePub)“
In 1963 Mukwahepo left her home in Namibia and followed her fiance
across the border into Angola. They survived hunger and war and
eventually made their way to Tanzania. There, Mukwahepo became the first
woman to undergo military training with SWAPO. For nine years she was
the only woman in SWAPO's Kongwa camp. She was then thrust into a more
traditional women's role - taking care of children in the SWAPO camps in
Zambia and Angola. At Independence, Mukwahepo returned to Namibia with
five children. One by one their parents came to reclaim them, until she
was left alone. Already in her fifties, and with little education,
Mukwahepo could not get employment. She survived on handouts until the
Government introduced a pension and other benefits for veterans. Through
a series of interviews, Ellen Ndeshi Namhila recorded and translated
Mukwahepo's remarkable story. This book preserves the oral history of
not only the 'dominant male voice' among the colonised people of
Namibia, but brings to light the hidden voice, the untold and forgotten
story of an ordinary woman and the outstanding role she played during
the struggle.
