Theofelus Eiseb


Theofelus Eiseb was a Namibian politician and school teacher. Eiseb was an inaugural member of the National Council of Namibia until his appointment as governor of his native Otjozondjupa Region in 2003. He was removed as regional governor in 2009 as a result of poor health. In 2007, he was arrested by the Anti-Corruption Commission for allegedly enriching himself with state funds. He stayed on as governor despite the allegations and was removed shortly before his death due to ill-health. The corruption charges were cited as factors in his death.
