Learning about the Herero culture has been such a meaningful and emotional journey for me as an Oorlam from Vaalgras. Our roots trace back to the Herero people who settled in Nama land and embraced Nama traditions; so reconnecting with this part of my heritage was truly enriching. 🌍✨ I’m deeply grateful to the Miss Namibia organization for giving me the opportunity to experience and celebrate this beautiful culture firsthand. What a powerful way to end our unforgettable Northern tour. 💛 #Herit

The colonial violence against the Hereo and Nama people of Namibia. Over a century ago in Namibia, German colonial forces carried out one of the first genocides of the 20th century, killing tens of thousands of Herero and Nama people through starvation, forced labour, and concentration camps.
