Hendrik Witbooi (c. 1830–1905) was captain of the Witbooi people living in southern Namibia. For a long time, Witbooi defied the German occupation by fighting against the German colonial troops, until he died of wounds sustained in battle. His leadership in resisting the colonist armies make many consider him as a national hero in Namibia today. The African Millimeter Telescope (AMT) project aims to bring the first sub-mm radio telescope (an essential link to the network of telescopes known as the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT)) to the African continent, specifically the Gamsberg mountain in Namibia. This recommendation will explore Hendrik Witbooi’s life and his geographical locations in relation to the Gamsberg mountain.
