NAMIBIA CONNECTS | Dr. Petrus Mbenzi, UNAM lecturer on Humanities and Arts - nbc
Author and Associate Professor Petrus Mbenzi, a distinguished academic and Associate Professor for Oshiwambo in the Department of Humanities and Arts at the University of Namibia. He recently delivered a compelling public lecture titled "Do not butcher my name: Mispronunciation of Oshiwambo personal names in Namibia."
In a nation as richly diverse as Namibia, names carry deep cultural, linguistic, and historical significance. Yet, the mispronunciation of indigenous names - particularly Oshiwambo personal names - remains a persistent issue, often reflecting broader questions of identity, respect, and linguistic justice. Professor Mbenzi's lecture challenges us to confront this issue head-on and consider what it means for our national identity and cultural preservation.
