The 59-year-old member of the South West Africa People’s Organisation has grown tired of his name preceding him. After being re-elected in Namibia for the fifth time in a row, the newly christianed Adolf Uunona told local media that he has done away with his middle name “Hitler”, reported The Independent. “My name is not Adolf Hitler,” the anti-apartheid campaigner told The Namibian. “In the past, people have called me Adolf Hitler and tried to associate me with someone I don’t even know.” #news #africa
