The  ||Kharas Education Directorate has denounced the picketing of parents against the newly appointed principal at Minna Sachs Primary School at Keetmanshoop.

A group of parents alleged that the appointed principal was not recommended by the school board. 

The protestors also raised the issue that the principal was not speaking Khoekhoegowab at a school attended by children coming predominantly from this language group. 

Women from the Damaran tribe from Tsumeb launched the ǂNīsa Damaradi Horokhoes Group.

The aim is to encourage the young Khoekhoegowab-speaking girls to wear the dress.

The ǂNīsa Taradi Horokhoes Group chose the color copper for their dresses to represent their town's natural treasure.

They started the day by parading their dresses during a march along the streets of Tsumeb.

The exhibition was in appreciation of the young women's traditional wear and to encourage them to keep their culture alive.
