The commemoration, organisedby the Nama Traditional Leaders Association was held at Shark Island in Luderitz.

The Nama Traditional Leaders Association Chairperson, Gaob Johannes Isaack, has welcomed an investigation into the history of Shark Island, which the German Empire used as a concentration camp during the Nama and Herero Genocide of 1904–1908.
