For the Record

AN article published in The Namibian on Tuesday, August 24, under the headline ‘Magazine names Mugabe as one of Africa’s greatest leaders’ stated that only two Namibians made it on the list of 100.

In fact, three Namibians were voted by the New African readers – President Sam Nujoma at number 34, Herero Chiek Hosea Kutako (67) and Nama resistance fighter Hendrik Witbooi. The omission of Hosea Kutako was inadvertent.The article also wrongly stated that “boxes” were among 100 people named by the magazine.In fact, it should have read “boxers”, as in the sport.The omission of Hosea Kutako was inadvertent.The article also wrongly stated that “boxes” were among 100 people named by the magazine.In fact, it should have read “boxers”, as in the sport.
