Troupes showcase beautiful polka dance in Khawa

Different people from different corners of the country and internationally, who are affectionate of not just the diversity cultures but also adventurous tourism, witnessed different polka dances or Namastap from different polka groups from the Tsabong District. The polka dancing groups each told different stories relating to their cultures through dance. Some of the groups were said to have showcased the Nama people’s traditional wedding proceedings.

That included asking a bride's family for their daughter's hand in marriage till the wedding ceremony. The beauty of the dance starts with the unique attires where females wear ancient-styled dresses and/or aprons just like the female house helpers used to wear many centuries ago abroad during slavery times while their male counterparts wore trousers, shirts and bow ties. Some chose to wear patched trousers. During their performances, each group outdid itself and attracted acting President, Slumber Tsogwane, and his delegation to join and bless them with some money. Khawa Primary School kick-started the night's performance with a splendid performance.
