EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
John Robert Walters
Transitioning to the private sector in 1996, Walters returned to public service as acting prosecutor general in 2002. His career reached new heights in July 2004 when he assumed the role of Namibia’s third Ombudsman, a position he held until his retirement in 2021, succeeded by Basilius Dyakugha on October 1.
Throughout his tenure, Walters made significant contributions on the international stage, serving as vice president of the International Ombudsman Institute in 2012 and subsequently as its president in 2014—a pinnacle he regards as “the highest accolade of my career.”
On 30 August 2022, Walters was appointed to the RTC Namibia, marking another chapter in his distinguished legal and public service career.
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
Bernard Shidute Haufiku
Haufiku’s educational foundation was laid at Onamhidi Combined School and Onheleiwa Combined School in the Omusati Region. He furthered his studies at the University of the Witwatersrand, earning Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery degrees, along with a Diploma in Anesthesiology.
Appointed to the Namibian Parliament in 2015 by President Hage Geingob on behalf of the SWAPO party, Haufiku served until December 20, 2018, when he was succeeded by Kalumbi Shangula. Subsequently, he took on the role of special adviser on health matters to Vice President Nangolo Mbumba. However, his advisory position in the presidency was terminated abruptly by President Hage Geingob in early August 2020.
In recognition of his contributions to public health and education, the Pendukeni Iivula-Ithana Primary School, formerly part of Onamhidi Combined School where Haufiku attended in 1978, was renamed in his honor in 2021.
Adding to his notable achievements, in 2022, Haufiku was appointed as a board member of RTC Namibia, furthering his impact and involvement in national governance and policy development.
