Isaak Witbooi
Hendrik Samuel Witbooi, Nama name: ǃNanseb ǂKharib ǃNansemab, (25 May 1865 – 16 October 1928) was the fourth Kaptein of the ǀKhowesin, a subtribe of the Orlam, in Gibeon, South-West Africa (today's Namibia). When during the Herero Wars his father, Hendrik Witbooi, fell, he inherited the chieftaincy. He reigned until his death in 1928, when his brother David Witbooi succeeded him.[1]
