The visitors to Dune 7 say the decision by the Ministry of Environment, Forestry, and Tourism to charge an entrance fee is preventing people from accessing the recreational facility.

Between December 24 and 25, more than 300 Namibians visited the site, compared to 302 SADC visitors and 20 international visitors.

Residents of Henties Bay say as a result of Western culture, young people have lost touch with family traditions and no longer value them.

They say young people prefer to spend time with friends as opposed to family, missing out on an opportunity to reflect on the importance of spending quality time with them as well as strengthening bonds.

Days like Family Day allow families to celebrate one another while also allowing young people to tap into the wisdom and knowledge of seniors.
