Hompa
Nyangana (1874-1924) was a fierce critic of all European influence, and particularly that of missionaries. Six Catholic mission journeys into the Kavango ended unsuccessful during his reign. Only after the seventh journey did missionary and later
Archbishop Joseph Gotthardt manage to establish a mission station at
Nyangana in 1910 and at
Andara in 1913, using the severely weakened position of the King after the
VaGciriku-Lishora Massacre of 1894. == Language ==
