The University of Namibia’s Katima Mulilo Campus has launched its annual cultural festival with vibrant performances by traditional groups, reaffirming this year’s theme, “Connecting Cultures, Building Unity”.

The Minister of Urban and Rural Development, James Sankwasa, has stepped in to help resolve the Gciriku traditional leadership succession dispute.

The Gciriku tribe has been without a chief since 2019. 

The chieftainship of the tribe is inherited through the maternal line.

The Olufuko Annual Cultural Festival, underway at the Olufuko Centre in Outapi in the Omusati Region, drew a large number of girls this year compared to the past years.
