Ondonga is a traditional kingdom of the Ovambo people in what is today northern Namibia. Its capital is Ondangwa, and the kingdom's palace is at Onamungundo. Its people call themselves Aandonga. They speak the Ndonga dialect. The Ondonga kingdom is ruled by an Omukwaniilwa (king), assisted by a council of elders, the Ondonga Traditional Authority. After the death of king Immanuel Kauluma Elifas in March 2019, a new king is to be announced on 14 April 2019, the day after king Elifas' burial.[1] Succession rules{{see also|List of Ondonga kings}}The king's succession is matrilinear. Both king and queen are to marry outside the royal family. The first in line to the throne is the oldest surviving brother of the king, then followed by his sisters' sons. If there are several such nephews, the royal family and selected elders of the kingdom make a recommendation.[1] However, succession is this way is not automatic, and ultimately decided by the traditional authority, over which the king presides. If for instance the first in line is not considered capable, someone else might be recommended.[2] There are two matrilinear lines in the Ondonga kingdom, one from Epale and one from Onethika. Under normal circumstances ascension alternates between the two.[2] The king's residence is not at a predetermined village and depends on where the king choses to reside. The past two kings resided at Onamungundo, previous places of the royal palace of the Aandonga included Oshamba, Olukonda, Okaloko, Ondjumba, Ontananga and Omwandi.[3] References1. ^1 {{Cite news | title=Aandonga honour departed leader | last=Haidula | first=Tuyeimo | newspaper=The Namibian | date=3 April 2019 | page=6 | url=https://www.namibian.com.na/77230/read/Aandonga-honour-departed-leader}} {{Namibia-stub}}2. ^1 {{Cite news | title=The royal fight for the Ondonga kingdom | last=Mongudhi | first=Tileni | newspaper=The Namibian | date=21 August 2015 | page=6 | url=http://www.namibian.com.na/index.php?id=140981&page=archive-read}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.worldstatesmen.org/Namibia_native.html|title=Namibian traditional states|publisher=worldstatesmen.org|accessdate=28 December 2016}} 2 : History of Namibia|Ovambo |
