I was born at Oshikuku in Omusati  Region, I attended  primary school at Oshikuku  Combined School.  The joined  Nuuyoma Senior Secondary School for my higher school  which I completed in 1995. I then joined UNAM in 1996 and completed a Bachelor of Science ( Mathematics and Physics). In 2002  I went to Rhodes University and completed my BSCH and MSC  both in Mathematics and Immediately in 2005 I was admitted to North-West University (Potchefstroom – Campus) for my PHD studies and was completed in 2008.
