The ǂNūkhoe, in their relentless pursuit to preserve their cultural heritage, unveiled the long-awaited grave of Ouma Amalia |Hones. 

The gravesite signifies the historical existence of the |Khomanin clan of the ǂNūkhoe people.

The gravesite, located east of Havana, was found in 2018, and subsequently, the chief of the |Khomanin clan and the |Honen family members were notified.

Ouma Amalia |Hones was born in 1891 and was buried in 1963.

|Hones' grave signifies the existence of |Khomanin people in the modern-day Windhoek area, originally known as |Khomas.

The grave of Amalia |Hones, a royal lineage of the |Khomanin people, is now surrounded by shacks in the Havana Informal settlement.

This is after the Windhoek Municipality relocated some Windhoek residents to that area.

Ouma Amalia |Hones died in 1963 and is buried at farm 508, which is now known as Havana.

In accordance with the traditional norms, headmen and senior leaders of the |Khomanin normally visit this isolated grave site and speak to the ancestors, whose remains lay in this grave.
