Hans Orlando Prade (23 July 1938 – 3 April 2020) was a Surinamese diplomat.[1]

After graduating from Leiden University, Prade returned to Suriname, and founded the short lived Nationale Volkspartij together with Ronald Venetiaan. Later Prade became a member of the Progressieve Nationale Partij. During the coup, Prade was a commentator on Suriname radio. [2]

Prade was the Surinamese ambassador to the Netherlands from 1981 to 1982. His political and undiplomatic statements were not appreciated by the regime and he was dismissed on 1 June 1982. [2]

In 1986[3], Prade became chairman of the Rekenkamer van Suriname [nl], a position which he held for about 10 year. [4]

In 1991, he tried to run for President of Suriname, but lost out to his former college buddy Venetiaan. [3]

In 1998 [4], Prade retired and decided to live with his family in Rotterdam, the Netherlands.

Prade died on 3 April in Rotterdam, the Netherlands due to COVID-19, aged 81.[4]
