The first-ever edition of the San Cultural Festival is on the cards.

The San community gathered at Otjiwarongo to plan for the November event in Tsumeb, which seeks to foster unity.

The festival looks to revive the San people's culture, traditions, and heritage, which are slowly disappearing in some quarters.

Although there are different subgroups, Chief Ananias Soroseb of the Kai !kha khoen Traditional Authority encouraged the community to use every opportunity to engage.
