Namibian struggle icon Andimba Toivo ya Toivo‘s funeral service is currently underway in Windhoek, Namibia on Saturday.

The freedom fighter has been praised as family man who was kind hearted.

Toivo ya Toivo died at 92-year-old two weeks ago.

He was one of the co-founders of Namibia’s Swapo movement.

Ya Toivo had been imprisoned in Robben Island for 16 years alongside 36 other Namibians after being convicted for treason by the apartheid system in 1966.
