Namibians are urged to be torchbearers of the country's heritage in their everyday lives. 

The Zambezi Region on Monday joined the rest of the country in launching Namibian Heritage Week, running from the 15th to the 19th of September.

Heritage Week provides an opportunity for all Namibians to celebrate the country's natural and cultural heritage.

Founding President Dr. Sam Nujoma's legacy should be kept alive through storytelling and the preservation of culture.

These sentiments were shared by two veterans of the local creative industry during the Founding President's remembrance interviews with the nbc.

A traditional priest of the otji-Mungunda clan, Vetara Mungendje at Toasis in the Aminuis Constituency, has said that the late Dr. Sam Nujoma has done immeasurable work in this country and was very close to his late uncle Ombara Hosea Kutako.

Senior Culture Officer Erastus Kautondokwa has invited schools, museums, and libraries to request the mobile ancestral Nama musical sound exhibition for display at their institutions.

The researcher believes the display enhances, preserves, and promotes the ancestral Nama music, which is under threat.
