This paper provides and analyses how the Namibian government legitimatised ethnic authority post independence especially with regard to the Kwanyama kingship, since its restoration in 1966. The Kwanyama question has influenced contemporary politics in Namibia since its installation.

Namibia's independence in 1990, awakened a resuscitation of kingships that were abolished decades ago by South African colonial occupation as well as a revival of old identities. This includes the reinstallation of the Kwanyama ouhamba kingship.
