              <text>Dr. Schivute, who had been a member of SWAPO since 1960, left Namibia in 1962. He graduated in 1969 and became one of Namibia's first medical doctors to qualify under SWAPO's mass education programme. Over and above his MD, he gained further medical experiences in Poland and Finland. In Europe, he specialized in Critical Care Medicine and anesthesiology until 1978, when he joined the Liberation movement in Angola.</text>
