The |Khomanin Traditional Authority unveiled the tombstone of its late Gaob Josephat Gawa-!Nab over the weekend.

The tombstone was unveiled during the community's annual cultural festival at Farm Baumgartsbrunn.

The |Khomanin gathered at Baumgartsbrunn to celebrate and promote their culture as well as to deliberate on the burning issue of landlessness.

The community stressed that they lack land of their own and are forced to rent and be subject to eviction from one place to the next.

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.
