Everything checks out, length, refs, etc., though maybe the hook sounds better as:

Alt 1: ... that Sam Nujoma, first president of Namibia, praised Michael Hishikushitja at his funeral as one of Namibia's "most active and effective young Parliamentarians"? Rufous-crowned Sparrow (talk) 06:56, 9 November 2011 (UTC)

I like the shorter hook. If ALT1 is preferred, it needs to be restricted to "young parliamentarian" to be supported by the source. Reworded ALT 1, also to remove the name duplication. --Pgallert (talk) 09:44, 9 November 2011 (UTC)

Long enough, new enough, online references from reputable sources. Wikiwayman (talk) 10:20, 29 November 2011 (UTC)
