From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Moses Mague ǁGaroëb (14 April 1942 in ǀArixas near Mariental —19 September 1997 in Windhoek) was a Namibian politician, founding member of SWAPO, and member of SWAPO's Politburo and Central Committee.[1][2]

During his political career, ǁGaroëb served in the Constituent Assembly of Namibia and was a Member of Parliament from the day of Namibian independence, 21 March 1990. He was appointed Minister of Labour and Human Resources in 1995, a position he held until his death.[3]

Founding president Sam Nujoma, Minister of Trade and Industry Hage Geingob and the Speaker of the National Assembly Theo-Ben Gurirab all attended the tombstone unveiling ceremony for ǁGaroëb.[1] A constituency in Windhoek is named after him,[4] as well as a street in Swakopmund.
