About a story with a lion that he experienced himself, he starts crying […]” (Ruth Dammann Diary page 55)

A Praise Song on Adelheid Mbuandjou by Christine Kapazu
Otjiwa otjinene otjirongo mu mu naPitirapo.
U konda okuyarura po.
Avehe ve horere ko.
Eye erike ngu konda mehi ndi.
Avehe ookuvehorera
Motjiwa otjinene otjirongo,
Omu e ri ngu konda erike.
Opuwo!
