Two streets in Namibia's capital Windhoek have recently been renamed. The Otjomuise Road is now named after Winnie Madikizela-Mandela (1936 - 2018) and the Monte Christo Road after Peter Eneas Nanyemba (1935 - 1983). The renaming ceremony took place on 03 December 2021. Winnie Madikizela-Mandela was a South African anti-apartheid activist and politician, and the second wife of Nelson Mandela. Peter Eneas Nanyemba was a commander of the People's Liberation Army of Namibia (PLAN) during the Namibian War of Independence. He also worked as a diplomat, representing SWAPO (South West Africa People’s Organisation) in Botswana and Tanzania, before he was elected as the SWAPO's Secretary of Defence in 1970.
