Kunene Governor Marius Sheya has warned against tribalistic remarks pitting the Damara and Nama tribesmen at Khorixas.

Sheya called out issues brewing at the Ward 9 communal area, where the locals are at loggerheads over alleged non-ancestral people being allocated plots to farm and residing there.

Speaking over the weekend at Fransfontein, Sheya warned that tribalism can trigger conflict and that bitter remarks voiced on local radios must be stopped immediately, as any Namibian is allowed to reside wherever they please.
