President Nangolo Mbumba has commended the Namibian Exile Kids Association (NEKA) for continuing to be the voice of the children born in exile at the height of the liberation struggle.

Dr. Mbumba, who is also the patron of NEKA, says the association has managed to bring together members to promote the welfare and preserve the cultural heritage of the struggle through networking and information sharing.

The Namibia University of Science and Technology (NUST) collaborated with the OvaHimba people to co-create the digitalization of cultural heritage.

The project involved on-site engagement with the OvaHimba people and led to the collaborative creation of a digital, multi-lingual, and multi-media cultural heritage collection.

The distinct result is a web application that was initiated by the community and categorised into three groups, human beings, livestock, and forests.

This application features audio narratives in the Otjiherero language.
