Nehale lyaMpingana

Nehale lyaMpingana (c. 1850 – April 14, 1908) was the King of the Ondonga people, a subtribe of the Ovambo, in German South West Africa. Their tribal area is situated around Namutoni on the eastern edge of Etosha pan in today's northern Namibia. He ruled the eastern part of Ondonga as a parallel king, having broken away from the authority of his older brother, King Kambonde kaMpingana, who ruled western Ondonga. His reign was marked by strong resistance to European colonial influence, particularly against the German and South African settlers.
