It's relish galore at Amarika and neighboring villages in the Omusati Region, as residents are currently harvesting the popular worms called Okatalashe, which live on thorn trees.

Some harvesters from faraway villages come to camp in various areas after traveling long distances daily in search of the worms, which are found on little thorn trees and shrubs in specific villages.

The annual occurrence provides an opportunity for locals to get free relish for their own consumption as well as to sell.
