Pendukeni Iivula-Ithana Biography

Pendukeni Iivula-Ithana is one of the most popular and richest Politician who was born on October 11, 1952 in Omusati Region, Namibia. Pendukeni Iivula-Ithana (born on October 11, 1952) is a Namibian politician who was secretary-general of the South-West Africa People’s Organization (SWAPO) from 2007 until 2012. She also served as Minister of Justice from 2005 until 2012, and the Minister for Home Affairs from 2012 until February 2018, when president Hage Geingob relieved her of her duties during an overhaul of the cabinet.

Iivula-Ithana was a Cabinet member in a variety of post. She was the Deputy Minister of Wildlife, Conservation and Tourism from 1990 until 1991 and the Minister for Youth and Sport from 1991 until 1996 as well as the Minister for Lands, Resettlement and Rehabilitation from 1996 until 2001. She was transferred from her previous position to the Attorney General on the 26th of January 2001. Then, in March of 2005 the day that President Hifikepunye Pohamba assumed office she was appointed the job that of the Minister of Justice.

Iivula-Ithana was one possible contender for SWAPO’s presidential candidacy, a position determined at the end-2012 party congress. She lost to Hage Geingob and runner-up Jerry Ekandjo, coming third by a margin. This fifth SWAPO Congress was followed by a Cabinet reshuffle on 4 December 2012, in which she became Minister of Home Affairs.

In late August 2014, when SWAPO chose its list of parliamentary candidates for the November 2014 general election, Iivula-Ithana only managed to obtain the 86th spot on the list, a poor performance that made it seem unlikely that she would be elected to the National Assembly. Although she failed to make it into parliament in the election, she was subsequently chosen by President Hage Geingob as one of his eight presidential appointees to the National Assembly. When Geingob took office in March 2015, Iivula-Ithana was retained in her post as Minister of Home Affairs.
