Career
De Waal was born in September 1949 in South Africa, but moved with his family to Namibia in the same year of his birth. He received a B.Comm. from the University of Pretoria in 1971. In 1976, he was a founding member of the Democratic Turnhalle Alliance and Secretary of Information. He was a leading member of the Republican Party of Namibia, a member of the alliance, until it broke with the DTA in 2003. In that year, de Waal, Barbara Rattay and Pieter Boltman formed the Alliance for Democratic Change, which maintained links with DTA. In March 2005, the DTA re-elected de Waal as party chairperson. While in the National Assembly, de Waal was the party's main spokesperson for trade and financial affairs.
