Peter Nambundunga, Namibian military officer, Dead

Major General Peter Nambundunga died on January 14, 2019.

He was a Namibian military commander.

He was designated the Commander of the Army in 2005, supplanting Martin Shalli when he was elevated to Chief of the NDF.

He ascended through the positions of the dissident People's Liberation Army of Namibia (PLAN) amid the Namibian War of Independence, possessing different posts until freedom.

Upon autonomy, PLAN and the South West African Territorial Force (SWATF) converged to shape the Namibia Defense Force (NDF) and Nambundunga was given the position of colonel.

In 2000, he was selected to the position of Major General and delegated as NDF Chief of Staff.

Among 2009 and January 2011, Nambundunga was Acting Chief of the NDF, while Shalli was suspended on claims of extortion.

Peter Nambundunga passed away in 2019.
