Personal

Namoloh was born on 28 February 1950, in Odibo, Ovamboland (now Ohangwena Region).

Career

Namoloh entered politics as a union organizer for the South West Africa People’s Organization (SWAPO) in 1971, in Walvis Bay during the Namibian War of Independence. Temporarily fleeing to southern Angola, Namoloh returned but was arrested in 1973 for pro-SWAPO activities. After spending time in prison, Namoloh was released to Kwanyama (Ovamboland) authorities to receive lashes for supporting SWAPO. Following the decolonization of Angola in 1974 following the Carnation Revolution in Portugal, Namoloh fled with other SWAPO Party Youth League members through Angola to SWAPO bases in Zambia. Rising quickly through the People’s Liberation Army of Namibia (PLAN), Namoloh became the chief of staff of Dimo Hamaambo in 1979. He fought under the nom de guerre “Ho Chi Minh”. Namoloh helped establish the Namibian Defence Force following independence in 1990 and worked within the NDF from 1990 to 1995. In 1995, Namoloh was sent to Angola as Namibia’s representative. In 2003, the former PLAN commander was sent to New Delhi, India as Namibia’s top diplomat in that country.

Namoloh returned home in 2005 to be selected for the National Assembly and appointed as Minister of Defense. Following the fifth SWAPO congress at the end of November 2012, a Cabinet reshuffle occurred on 4 December 2012, in which Namoloh was deployed as Minister of Regional and Local Government, Housing and Rural Development, succeeding Jerry Ekandjo. Former Prime Minister Nahas Angula took over Namoloh’s Defence portfolio.

Under President Hage Geingob, Namoloh was moved to the post of Minister of Safety and Security in March 2015.

Lee O’Denat’s net worth, biography, fact, career, awards and life story

Lee O’Denat net worth: Lee O’Denat, also known as “Q”, was an American business executive and internet CEO who had a net worth of $20 million. Lee O’Denat was most famous for being the founder of the website WorldStarHipHop.com. Lee founded the website on August 9, 2005 with his wife. The site’s original purpose was to distribute mixtapes. After hackers deleted many of the site’s most important files, O’Denat relaunched WorldStar as a content aggregator posting funny videos and photos found around the web. The site struck a nerve when it focused exclusively on user generated videos from highlighting African-American culture. Over time WorldStar grew to become one of the most popular video sites on the internet. At one point Lee O’Denat reportedly rejected a $40 million offer to buy 40% of the company, which would have valued the site as a whole at $100 million. WorldStar also reportedly could sell $100,000 or more worth of advertisements every single day. WorldStar became popular despite showing fight videos and other such racy content that other video aggregates wouldn’t likely be comfortable with. The phrase “WorldStar” is now part of the American cultural lexicon, typically reserved for when something crazy is happening on video. Unfortunately Lee O’Denat died on January 23, 2017 at the age of 43 of a heart attack while he slept. He had reportedly been on a mission to lose weight in recent months. He weighed over 300 pounds at his heaviest and was looking to slim down ahead of an MTV reality show he was set to tape.
