He has been banished there by the South African colonial administration after being deposed as Chief of Berseba at the behest of the colonial power but also at the height of internal strife within the Berseba community (power struggle between the Goliath and Isaak clans). (His corpse will be brought back to Berseba on 02.06.1995, after the Independence of the Republic of Namibia (21.03.1990))
