A fact from Mandume ya Ndemufayo appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 3 September 2008, and was viewed approximately 830 times (disclaimer) (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that Mandume Ya Ndemufayo was the last king of the Kwanyama people of Angola and Namibia?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2008/September.

There seems to be a contradiction in the article. In the introduction it is said "when he died of either suicide or machine gun fire while the Kwanyama kingdom was under attack from Portuguese" but later in the section "Battle and death" it is written "he died in battle against the South Africans". Each one is correct? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.137.2.54 (talk) 08:59, 23 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi and thanks for pointing that out. The source mentions the Portuguese in a different context; he died in battle with the South Africans. --Pgallert (talk) 17:19, 25 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
