text:
Nikanor Hoveka was chief of the Ovambanderu, a Herero clan in Namibia. He succeeded his father Kanangati Hoveka in 1896 as chief of the Ovambanderu. This came at the time when Imperial Germany had just begun to colonise the area and to establish German South-West Africa. When the Herero and Namaqua War of 1904–1907 broke out, Hoveka fought against the Germans. In 1905 he was interned at Otjihaenena concentration camp near Okatumba. After World War I Hoveka became engaged in early Pan-Africanism.
