the age of 16 , a large part of his life was spent in Namibia with his 3 daughters and got
actively involved in the homecoming campaign in his early fifties and made
significant progress in obtaining a final restitution in the Land Claims Court which
paved the way for the ultimate return of those evicted from their homes .
