British poet WH Auden  once said that "a man is a history-making creature who can neither repeat his past nor leave it behind". This is a story of arguably the oldest living person to have named his own country.

Prof Mburumba Kerina previously known as William Eric Getzen (born 6 June 1932), is a Namibian politician, academic, Historian and author. He decided to change his name after understanding where it came from. 

Those who have done a bit of digging will know that he is the first black man to petition the United Nations on conditions faced by Namibians at the hands of the South African apartheid government.

Prof Kerina coined the name "Namib" for the independent state "Namibia" on the territory of South West Africa.
