The killing of an Otjinene resident has reignited long-forgotten tribal tensions in the community.

The Ovaherero Traditional Authority is embroiled in a leadership tussle playing out in the Windhoek High Court, with a lawyer for the claimant alleging a "coup d'état."

A traditional priest of the otji-Mungunda clan, Vetara Mungendje at Toasis in the Aminuis Constituency, has said that the late Dr. Sam Nujoma has done immeasurable work in this country and was very close to his late uncle Ombara Hosea Kutako.

The Nama Traditional Leaders Association (NTLA) has rejected the government's approval for the signing of the Nama and Ovaherero genocide reparations agreement with the German government. 

Cabinet approved the signing of the Joint Declaration in mid-December last year. 

The continued effects of the 1904 Genocide, which saw the displacement of many OvaHerero people, were highlighted at the Chief Hosea Kutako and Otjiserandu Tjongeama commemorations with descendants from Botswana, Canada, and the US.

Ovaherero and Ovambenderu communities gathered at Okahitua Village over the weekend to remember the legacy of the late Ombara Otjitambi, Kuaima Riruako.

One of the most significant legacies of Chief Riruako is his decisive leadership on the issue of genocide reparations, among others.

Ovaherero and Ovambanderu communities gathered at Swakopmund to commemorate victims of the 1904–1908 genocide.

For the first time in 125 years, the Swakopmund Museum is displaying an exhibition on the 1904-08 Herero and Nama Genocide.

Previously, the museum only showcased the colonial background of German successes in the country, with no mention of the black communities living in Swakopmund.

The Director of the Swakopmund Genocide Museum mobilised residents and visitors from all over the world to volunteer in a campaign to restore unmarked graves of the genocide victims.

Some who honour the late Dr. Hage Geingob have described the fallen statesmen as a leader who was decisive and would quickly reprimand those who stepped out of line.
