“The history of our country, as told, read and understood, records the name of honourable Shixwameni as one of the great revolutionaries of his time. One of the bravest who stood up for his values during difficult times, when it wasn’t popular to do so,” wrote Amupanda.

Ardent Pan Africanist and Swapo member McDavid Meroro said he had been privileged to have known Shixwameni who always advised him despite their political differences.

“It is with great sadness that I learnt about the demise of a former student activist, the late honorable Shixwameni a member of parliament on the ticket of APP. I truly admire the fact that during all our meetings and interactions, he always guided and provided advice which turned out helpful besides our political differences,” said Meroro.

Uutara Muutu of Popular Democratic Movement and the party’s’ parliamentary spokesperson said of Shixwameni: “He played a pivotal role to our people and was a young militant giant during the struggle.
