Kido Witbooi
Kido Witbooi was the leader of the Witbooi Oorlam, or Khowesin, a Nama-speaking community from the northern Cape. Around 1863 he led them north from Pella to Gibeon in central southern Namibia, where a Rhenish mission was established and the Witboois became one of the leading Nama groups. His grandson Hendrik Witbooi led resistance to German colonial rule.
