Tsauib, Benjamin
* ?, ? † .


Was send to Paulinum from Tsumeb in 1938 bei missionary Uterkötter. Unterkötter liked Benjamin Tsauib and made him - together with his wife - in charge of a sm all "Werft" of bushman children, who came from outside and attended School in Tsumeb. He never drank during that time and also not during the years in Paulinum. After returning to Tsumeb he was requested by Pardey for Grootfontein, where he helped with translation work. Source: A letter by Pönnighaus to Rethemeier in Tsumeb who complained about Tsauib. AELCRNVIII2.719501954KorrespondenzPaulinum p. 83,
"Bergdama" completed Paulinum after the first evangelist course in January 1941 with the result "fair" and was send to Grootfontein RMG 2.561a p. 200.
Predecessor of Haraseb in Tsumeb B.,
In a letter quoted by preses H. K. Diehl to Pönnighaus, the former informed what Rethemeir had written him about Benjamin Tsauib: "1. er trinkt; 2. er vernachlässigt seinen Dienst; 3. er/hier (sic!) wegen seiner Frau unmöglich." Diehl mentions that he thinks, Tsauib was only "Autojunge" when the missionary went on the visits to the farms. AELCRNVIII2.719501954KorrespondenzPaulinum probably page 200,
Discharged from the work as an evangelist in Tsumeb, because of "mental disorder". RMG 2.651a p. 81.
Im Feld "Place of Birth and Death" habe ich in meiner Datenbank im Oktober 2008 folgenden Eintrag gefunden (und anschließend gelöscht): "30.5.1920, Tsumeb". Der macht weder in Hinblick auf das Geburtsdatum (1906 ca.) noch auf ein nicht vorhandenes Sterbedatum Sinn, denn Benjamin Tsauib besuchte das Paulinum 1938.
