2021-02-17
Prof Peter H. Katjavivi
Professor Kirsten Elisabeth Alnaes, Norwegian social anthropologist, whose doctoral thesis was on the cosmology of the Konzo in Uganda, and who did extensive oral history with the Herero community in Botswana, passed away on 4 February this year.
Born 8 May 1927, in Hattfjelldal, Norway, Kirsten studied social anthropology at the University of Oslo. There she met fellow anthropologist Axel Sommerfelt and they were married. They spent three years both doing research in Uganda and then moved to Southern Rhodesia, now Zimbabwe. They had three children – Benedict, Aspen and Maja. Kirsten and her husband were staunch advocates of black majority rule in Rhodesia and they were expelled from Rhodesia by the Smith regime in 1966, along with a number of other academics, including Professor Terence Ranger.
Oshana police spokesperson, warrant officer Frieda Shikole, said the incident happened at Oshuunga village.
The suspects – a man and his girlfriend â allegedly argued with the victim at a local shebeen and later attacked him with a panga and kitchen knife.
The male suspect is admitted at Onandjokwe hospital.
He is said to be in a stable condition.
His girlfriend has been arrested and is in police custody.

New COVID cases keep on spiking
ALTHOUGH a total of 187 new COVID-19 cases may sound as if numbers are declining, the fact that it came from a test batch of 928 samples means that the infection rate stands at 20 percent.
On Monday 190 new cases were registered but that number represented an infection rate of less than 10 percent of the sample batch that was tested by the various laboratories.
The Minister of Health and Social Services, Dr. Kalumbi Shangula over the past two days also reported four fatalities ascribed to COVID-19.
According to the statistics provided by the health minister, 297 patients were declared healthy after their follow-up tests had negative results over the past two days.
