Following weeks of 15 OvaHimba families living alongside the road on the outskirts of Kamanjab Settlement, the Kunene Regional Council has intervened to assist the group, that was evicted from a resettlement farm in the area. 

The council started to register the families and some have appealed to either be allocated farming units or move back to their homeland while some wish to settle at the settlement. 

The families were evicted from ToKo Lodge and Farm in April this year, after a change of ownership.

Family members from 17 households in the OvaHimba community have been evicted from a resettlement farm on the outskirts of Kamanjab in the Kunene Region.

The affected families, who have been living alongside the gravel road for two weeks now, said they have nowhere to go.

The group of about 40 people told nbc News that they were dumped here by the new owner, who settled on the farm at the beginning of this year.
