Everyone needs someone

Everyone needs someone else to become someone in life. It was in 1999 when a philosopher met a current security officer who, back in the day, had been a learner at Oukongo Primary School. During that year, the security officer was in Grade 2, and his class teacher was Ms. Kandambo. One day, while the philosopher was escorting his young sister and cousin across a river due to heavy rain and flowing water, he encountered Matouje Ujee Tjimbiri Nguaundjozondu Tjiharuka, on his way to school.

In that era, many Ovahimba children weren't sent to school to tend to livestock, and both Ujee and the philosopher were among those who hadn't attended school at a young age. However, Ujee had taken the initiative to attend school by himself in 1998. When the philosopher met Ujee, they exchanged greetings. Ujee encouraged the philosopher to attend school, but the philosopher expressed concern about not having a school uniform. Ujee assured him that the teacher, Ms. Kandambo, wouldn't mind.

Together, Ujee and the philosopher went to school. Upon arriving, they attended the morning assembly and then entered Ms. Kandambo's class. The philosopher struggled to answer Ms. Kandambo's questions, and unfortunately, he was among the learners who received punishment. The youngest person in the class, was The Queen of Tjiurunga Kandipoli Charlotte Munongo.

During the break, the philosopher questioned Ujee about the possibility of ongoing beating. Ujee reassured him that it wouldn't continue and encouraged him to persist. After completing their first term, Ujee moved to Otjerunda Primary School, and the philosopher lost interest in Oukongo Primary School. Despite wanting to switch schools, his parents opposed the idea. However, with the help of a current Inspector Mbinge, who was a senior learner at I.K Tjimuhiva Combined School, the philosopher's father was convinced to allow him to transfer there.

The philosopher and Ujee reunited at I.K Tjimuhiva Combined School, where many events transpired. The story is to be continued.
