While others are celebrating Christmas Day with family and friends, for some street vendors at Rundu, it's business as usual.

This is because, after all the celebrations and entertainment, the struggles for a new academic year begin.

While some are spending Christmas with their loved ones, others had to forego family time to work over this bonding period.

Petrol jockeys Joshua Kapaya and Sam Shilumbu had no choice but to clock in for work in order to earn an income and provide for their families.

For the first time in a long time, the youth of Gam filled the Gam Combined School hall while some peered from the windows to witness and enjoy a music bash.

It was the final event for the Gam Christmas Extravaganza, courtesy of Otjozondjupa Governor James Uerikua.
