Former Kavango East governor Bonifatius Wakudumo denies mishandling money pledged to a boy (14) who became famous after allegedly walking over 200km from Divundu to Rundu to attend Sam Nujoma’s memorial service in 2025.
The 14-year-old told The Namibian on Thursday that the promises, including N$31 000 pledged to take him back to school, were never received.
Wakudumo said on Thursday that efforts to get the child back into school failed, as his behaviour became problematic, resulting in his expulsion.
The former governor then decided to arrange a meeting with Mukwe constituency councillor Damian Maghambayi and the boy’s parents to account for the money pledged to him.
