As Namibia celebrates 36 years of independence, reflection remains a key part of honouring the country's journey to freedom.

At Heroes Acre, a national monument dedicated to those who fought for liberation, Namibians are reminded of the sacrifices made for the nation's sovereignty.

The Namibian government officially submitted a nomination dossier to UNESCO for the Dâures/Brandberg National Monument Area to be inscribed on the World Heritage List.
