Ovaherero and Ovambanderu communities gathered at Swakopmund to commemorate victims of the 1904–1908 genocide.

The Namibian government is preparing for the repatriation of a group of Batswana of Namibian descent.

The group will be received at Gam.

The returnees are those whose forefathers fled to Botswana during the German era.

The government, through the National Youth Service (NYS), has been hard at work preparing a 21-hectare piece of land in Gam for the returning families to settle on.

The team on site is still waiting on the arrival of gravel stones for making concrete before the rest of the fencing poles will be erected.
