"Yes, because when you build a house, a mud house. It falls down and then you build a new
one where we are staying there - on one place." (ibid.)
482. Asked where she was born, she says:
"I was born at Kasika." (ibid., p.210).
483. All these witnesses were determined to give the impression that Kasikili/Sedudu was a
big village - bigger than Kasika. They made it appear as if Kasikili/Sedudu was the
headquarters of the Caprivi. As it turned out later more particularly in the evidence of Chief
Moraliswani (see ibid., pages 194-211) Kasikili/Sedudu was used only for ploughing in some
seasons and nothing else. The last time it was used according to this witness, who incidentally
appears to have been the only one who had not been programmed, was in 1937 after the death
of Liswaninyana.
484. Chief Moraliswani gave a clear account of the various chiefs who ruled before him. He
related their respective headquarters and burial places and Kasikili/Sedudu was not one of
them. His evidence was impressive and he clearly contradicted some of his subjects who
claimed that some of their late chiefs had been buried on the Island.
485. This is what he says:
Botswana Component: "Would the Honourable Chief tell us where his father Sinvula Maiba
had his headquarters?
Honourable Chief: "Kabbe"
Botswana Component - Can he tell us please where Chikamatondo, when he was Regent, had
his headquarters?
Honourable Chief - "His headquarters was at Schuckmannsburg. They told him that he must
leave his common village there, he must come at Schuckmannsburg."
Botswana Component: Would the Honourable Chief please tell us where Liswaninyana had
his headquarters?
Honourable Chief - That is Kasika Kasikili
Botswana Component: Could he please tell us where the Chiefs in the time are buried, where
they were buried?
Honourable Chief - "Do you ask me to give you history starting from the Chiefs of the
Bekuhane coming to the present time?"
Botswana Component: No, the Honourable Chief would help if he could tell us quite literally
in which place, in which village his father was buried, Sinvula Maiba?
Honourable Chief - "At Mahundu, that was his common village."
Botswana Component: And where was Chief Liswaninyana buried please?
