Political leadership and traditional leaders in the ||Kharas Region are in support of the parliamentary motion to erect an ever-lighting shrine in honour of the legacy of the late Kaptein Hendrik Witbooi. 

They rallied behind the motion during consultations with the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Human Resources and Community Development at Keetmanshoop.

Kaptein Witbooi, affectionately known as Outa !Nanseb, was the leader of the |Khowese clan, a sub-tribe of the Nama people. 

The leaders, however, proposed the construction of a shrine and memorial at Gibeon and Vaalgras, respectively. 

The Chairperson of the Standing Committee, Bertha Dinyando, commended the leaders' contributions.
