A wave of grief and desperation swept through the town of Okahandja today, as hundreds, if not thousands, of residents, learners, and community leaders took to the streets in a mass protest over the horrific murders of three young girls.

Usakos was shattered last week when six family members were allegedly murdered by a teenage relative.
