Maharero

Maharero kaTjamuaha (c. 1820 – 7 October 1890) was the first paramount chief of the Herero people, reigning from around 1863 until his death in 1890. He oversaw the Hereros' split from the Oorlam Afrikaners and subsequent conflicts between the two ethnic groups, as well as the colonisation of modern Namibia by the German Empire.
