The founding members, editors, organizers, and writers of The Namibian Review, Kenneth Abrahams, trained and working as a medical doctor, and Ottile Abrahams, a committed teacher, principle, and feminist activist, were involved in the formation of anti-colonial liberation political parties, underground movements, in education work, in study groups, in writing position papers, newsletters, lectures, and strategic plans. In other words, The Namibian Review was just  one piece in a much larger puzzle of the labours and movements for southern African liberation.
