As Namibia celebrates 34 years of independence, the Kavango West is also celebrating 10 years since it was declared an independent region. 

In 2013, following a recommendation of the Fourth Delimitation Commission of Namibia and in preparation for the 2014 general election, the Kavango Region was split into Kavango East and West. 

Kavango West Region is located in the north-eastern part of Namibia and has a population of 123,266.

The region's eight constituencies are 99% rural.

The Namibian Defence Force (NDF) will be holding a parade as part of Namibia's 34th Independence Anniversary at Katima Mulilo, Zambezi Region.

In preparation for the parade, the public may observe the unfamiliar movement of soldiers and armoured vehicles from March 17–22.

The ceremony's highlights will include a 21-gun salute, an aircraft fly-pass, and free-fall parachuting.

The demonstration of military precision and dedication aims to honour the nation's sovereignty and pay homage to those who have sacrificed for its defence.
