Nama Traditional Community will host its cultural festival themed “Our Culture Our Pride”, at Lokgwabe village (located about 10 kilometres from Hukuntsi) on August 26 and 27, 2016.

The festival will feature Nama traditional food, traditional medicine, and traditional activities such as Horse Carding, Namastap Dance, and Nama language and attire promotion.

One Nama Traditional Community organiser, Aobakwe William Cloete, explained that August 27 would be a day of learning about the Nama people, their history, practices and culture through a number of speakers. He said since the Nama people originate from Namibia, they would have about 85 visitors from Namibia, including four chiefs and five regional councillors. He further explained that on August 27, guests would be treated to Nama cultural activities.
