description: "Jonker Afrikaner was the fourth Captain of the Orlam in what is today Namibia, succeeding his father, Jager Afrikaner, in 1823. Soon after becoming Captain, he left his father's settlement at Blydeverwacht with three brothers and some 300 followers and relocated to the area that is today central Namibia. From 1825 onwards he and his council played a dominant political role in Damaraland and Namaland, creating a de facto state."
