The Khwe community living in Bwabwata National Park is frustrated with the government for taking so long to recognise its traditional leadership.

The community has been trying for the past 26 years to have its leadership recognised.

Statelessness due to a lack of national identity documents is said to be worsening poverty among the Khwe community living in the Bwabwata National Park in Kavango East's Mukwe Constituency.
