Totally nothing falafel.

I mean,

As regional councilor, he has been lauded for his grassroots work and anti-apartheid efforts, domestic media reported.

In an interview with German newspaper Bild in 2020 — when he won his fourth mandate — Uunona said he had “nothing to do” with Nazi ideology.

He also rejected any notion of world domination.

"It wasn't until I was growing up that I realised: This man wanted to subjugate the whole world," Uunona said. “I have nothing to do with any of these things."

He explained that his father named him after the notorious Nazi leader responsible for the Holocaust. However, Uunona pointed out that “he probably did not understand” what it meant.

"As a child I saw it as a totally normal name," Uunona insisted. “It does not mean I have Adolf Hitler's character or resemble that of Adolf Hitler of Germany,” he told Namibian press in a separate interview.

Legit based Adolf Hiter
