Prime Minister Saara Kuugongelwa-Amadhila says traditional authorities are key in instilling cultural values, traditions, and norms as well as supporting government programmes aimed at ensuring that people are living in unity, peace, and harmony.

Kuugongelwa Amadhila made these remarks when she paid a courtesy call to Ongandjera, Uukwaludhi, and Ombalantu traditional authorities.

She says traditional authorities play an important role in communities and, being custodians of cultures, they help the government to maintain law and order in the communities.
