Cornelius Tuhafeni Ndjoba (1930–1982) was the chief of the Ovamboland bantustan in Namibia, then known as South West Africa from August 1975 to July 1980[1] and president of the Democratic Turnhalle Alliance (DTA) from 1978, the year of the assassination of Clemens Kapuuo, to 1980.[2]

Njoba was an outspoken critic of South West Africa People's Organization (SWAPO). He was killed in his vehicle in a landmine explosion in which six other people were also killed. South West African security forces said the mine was laid by SWAPO guerrillas.
