The final results within the |Khomas Region show that members of the |Khomanin community voted in favour of removing Chief Juliane Gawa!nas through a vote of no confidence, with 889 votes supporting the motion and 87 opposing it.

The Ministry of Urban and Rural Development says at this stage it cannot confirm the validity of the elections held by the |Khomanin community to remove their Gaos Juliane Gawa-!Nas and her council from the office.

A vote of no confidence was instituted against Gaos Gawa-!Nas and her council on 16 May. 

The Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries, Water, and Land Reform, Mac Hengari has acknowledged the deep-rooted pain associated with land dispossession, saying that land is not just an economic asset but a crucial element of African cultural and spiritual identity.

The longstanding dispute over ancestral land rights involving the |Khomanin community has resurfaced.

The community has lodged fresh complaints against Gaos Juliane Gawa!nas and a German farmer, John Cuff, who allegedly owns the contested Baumgartsbrunn-||Ganaxas farm.
