The late Senior Traditional Councillor of the Ovaherero Traditional Authority, Usiel Kambirongo, was laid to rest at the Ozombuzovindinda Cultural Heritage site in the Otjinene Constituency. In accordance with his wishes, Kambirongo was buried in a rare standing position, facing east.

The OvaHerero Traditional Authority and the Nama Traditional Leaders Association are calling on President Hage Geingob to support them in taking Germany to the International Court of Justice for the genocide committed against their people.

Professor Mutjinde Katjiua says the Ovaherero people have an assignment at hand in terms of good governance, resilient livelihoods, and the establishment of a cooperative to assist in the economic development of the community.

Academic Dr. Hoze Riruako has been coronated Ombara Otjitambi by one faction of the Ovaherero Traditional Authority (OTA).

The coronation took place at Okahandja, where his message centred around unity and genocide reparations.
