The brutal murders of three young girls at Okahandja have ignited a wave of national grief and outrage, culminating in mass marches and urgent calls for action to protect children.

Various schools in Windhoek also stood in solidarity, joining the nationwide mass march against violence toward children.

The murders in Okahandja have become a national rallying point against violence toward children in Namibia.

The message echoing from Okahandja grows louder with each passing day: "The killing of our children must end!" 

The recent tragedy that has gripped the garden town has now stirred the nation, as schools in Windhoek stand in solidarity, joining a nationwide mass march against violence toward children. 

With chants of "We want justice" and "Save our children", the marchers mourn and demand action for the brutal murders of Ingrid Maasdorp (5), Roswinds Fabian (6) and Beyoncé !Kharuxas (15), a desperate plea to protect the future of children.

The collective grief has transformed into a movement demanding justice and safety reforms, as well as a renewed commitment to protecting the nation's children, particularly girls, from violence and exploitation.

Junior Mayor Milano Gogol highlighted the importance of children's safety and gave a few tips, including being aware of your surroundings and speaking out when in fear.

A N$120,000 reward has been offered for information leading to arrests in the Okahandja murders.
