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.

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 further explained that on August 27, guests would be treated to Nama cultural activities.
