Sihepo, Gerhard
* ?, ? † .


Rust writes in 1924 that the work amongst the workers of the railway, which was formerly done by Kühhirt, is now under Hochstrate and his "Gehülfe" Gerhard Sihepo.1
Again he tatekulu Vatilifa had had a cousin by name Naholo Kashungu Shihepo, who later was baptized as Abraham, who also worked in Oushimba and learned how to read and write. And then after his contract was over he never went back to Angola but stopped at Ombalantu in SWA (Outapi today). This means he heard about Christianity from his cousin Naholo (Abraham) the son of Naupukuluke Naufiku Ndatyapo. And the grandchildren of Naupukuluke are still alive and sometimes they visit him tatekulu at Oshifukwa. Both of his parents were not Christians. His cousin, Abraham and others who worked in SWA e. g. CDM, TLC and Walvis Bay after their contracts had expired, they either stayed at Engela or at Nakayale (Outapi), to preach the word of God and never stayed in Angola after working in SWA. They only went there to get their fiancée even without their parents' consent. When visiting Angola they used to walk in the bushes singing spiritual songs while dressed in white. But people there in the villages did not like the white color, because according to their culture white symbolizes poverty.2
