SOTS Tackles Roles Of Women

Held at University of Botswana Library Auditorium, one of the topics of the day was the role of women in Ovambanderu culture. Attendees seemed to have keen interest in the presentation.

The key speaker, Mbasuviwa Katjarava who was cultured and raised in the settlement of Ovambanderu in Ngamiland said women are the pillars of Ovambanderu culture. She said Ovambanderu people are one of the minority tribes that originate in Namibia and majority of them settled in Ngamiland. “We are pastoral farmers and we believe that a cow is a holy and valuable animal to Ovambanderu culture,” she said.
