Former Speaker of the National Assembly Professor Peter Katjavivi has described the enactment of the commemoration of Genocide Remembrance Day as having rejuvenated a non-wavering call for restorative justice following the heinous crimes committed against Namibians at the hands of the German forces in 1904–1908.

The Vice Chairperson of the Nama Traditional Leaders Association and Gaob Dawid Hanse of the !Khara Khoe said the Nama communities affected by the 1904 to 1908 genocide look to the government to facilitate meaningful dialogues with the German government.
