He was born on the same day that his uncle died.[1] Hamutumbangela was a tall and strongly-built man.[1] At age 17, Hamutumbangela went to St. Mary's mission at Odibo: first as a student, and then as a teacher. He then studied theology at St. Bedes, Umtata, and was ordained as a deacon in 1946, and as a priest in 1947. He served in parishes in Etale, Windhoek, and Omboloka.[2] Hamutumbangela spoke out against the racism and injustices of the apartheid regime and petitioned the United Nations numerous times regarding Namibian independence.[2] He was one of the founders of the Ovamboland People's Organization and a leading figure in the Old Location Uprising.[3] Hamutumbangela was arrested in 1966, and allegedly poisoned by the South African authorities.[7] The poison paralyzed his nervous system, and he was physically and mentally handicapped until his death in 1990.[2] RecognitionIn 2012, Rev. Theofilus Hamutumbangela Station in Oshikango was established and named in his honour.[4] Along with Hosea Kutako and Hendrik Samuel Witbooi Avenues, there is a bronze statue of Hamutumbangela in the Parliament Gardens in Windhoek.[5] References1. ^{{cite book|last1=Namhila|first1=Ellen Ndeshi|title=Kaxumba KaNdola: Man and Myth|date=2005|publisher=Basler Afrika Bibliographien|page=34|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=myaPhlKg9hsC&pg=PA34|accessdate=18 October 2016}} {{Authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Hamutumbangela, Theophilus}}2. ^1 2 3 4 {{cite web|last1=Macmillan|first1=Gamsberg|title=Hamutumbangela, Theofilus|url=http://www.dacb.org/stories/namibia/hamutumbangela_theofilus.html|website=Dictionary of African Christian Biography|accessdate=18 October 2016}} 3. ^{{cite book|last1=Olivier|first1=Willie|last2=Olivier|first2=Sandra|title=African Adventurer's Guide to Namibia|date=2006|publisher=Struik|page=110|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=ZrZKEQkrHkoC&pg=PA110|accessdate=16 October 2016}} 4. ^{{cite news|last1=Nembwaya|first1=Hileni|title=Govt neglect adding to Oshikango woes, as town deteriorates|url=http://www.confidente.com.na/2016/09/govt-neglect-adding-to-oshikango-woes-as-town-deteriorates/|accessdate=18 October 2016|work=The Confidente|date=1 September 2016}} 5. ^1 {{cite web|title=Parliament Gardens|url=https://www.roughguides.com/destinations/africa/namibia/windhoek-around/independence-avenue-around/parliament-gardens/|publisher=Rough Guides|accessdate=16 October 2016}} ]] 9 : 1917 births|1990 deaths|History of Namibia|South West African anti-apartheid activists|People from Ohangwena Region|Namibian Anglican priests|Namibian Christian theologians|Anglican bishops in Africa|20th-century Anglican theologians |
