The Namibian Broadcasting Corporation lost one of its veteran employees when Lucia Engombe passed away at 53 after getting sick at Oshakati State Hospital. She spent 17 years working her way up from assistant producer in the religious department to running the entire German radio service, and she wrote a book about growing up in East Germany during the liberation struggle when hundreds of Namibian kids got sent there for training.
Engombe joined NBC at the turn of the millennium and kept climbing the ladder until she landed the top German service job, where she stayed for five years before bouncing. Her family confirmed she died, but nobody has dropped details about the memorial or funeral yet.
