History of King Kauluma
King Kauluma village was found in 1990 shortly after independence. Most of the first residents were returnees. The returnees were initially based at the former army base used by the South African Soldiers. Due to unemployment the returnees were assisted with small projects to help themselves like bakery and agriculture (Field Crop) which did not last very long. The King of Ondonga, King Immanuel Kauluma then decided to give them land to do farming. The village was then named after the king.
Educational Section
Most of the residents are not educated as they were PLAN fighters and did not get access to education. Currently there is only one Primary school.
