He taught students at the International University of Management before his death. Amweelo served his country for many years as a politician and educator. His colleagues say he touched many lives through his work. Amweelo held important government positions from 2000 to 2010. He ran the ministry of works and transport for five years. The politician also worked as deputy chief whip for the ruling Swapo party during his time in parliament. His government service helped shape transportation policy across the nation. Fellow politicians respected his dedication to public service. Students and teachers at IUM loved Amweelo as a professor. Dean Sioni Iikela says the academic always greeted everyone warmly. Amweelo knew every staff member and student by name. He helped create climate change programs at the university. His research and writing on environmental issues gained wide recognition. Friends describe Amweelo as humble despite his success. Political analyst Ben Mulongeni grew up near Amweelo in Okatana village. The former minister never forgot his roots after studying abroad. He always asked about childhood friends when he visited home. Neighbors say he remained connected to his community throughout his career. Former prime minister Nahas Angula lived close to Amweelo in their village. The two men met during the independence struggle in Zambia. Angula says his neighbor continued studying and learning his entire life. Cabinet minister Pendukeni Iivula-Ithana praised Amweelo as energetic and professional. [/QUOTE]
