Namibian History - The Old Location

Namibia’s Vice President, Nangolo Mbumba together with the Prime Minister Saara Kuugongelwa Amadthila, the Speaker of the National Assembly, Prof. Peter Katjavivi, the Chairperson of the National Council Bernard Sibalatani, the Governor of the Khomas Region Laura McLeod-Katjirua, members of the diplomatic corps, members of NamPol and the NDF as well as contempory witnesses, cultural groups and a few hundred Namibians gathered on Tuesday morning at the Old location Cemetery in Hochlandpark, to commemorate International Human Rights Day, the 60th anniversary of Namibia Women´s day and the 60th anniversary of the fateful day in the Old Location in Windhoek.
Vice President Mbumba said that Chapter 3 of the Namibian Constitution is one of the cornerstones of our fundamental freedoms which cannot be amended. Namibia’s women were remembered especially Kakurukaze Mungunda who together with eleven heroines and heroes paid the ultimate price when resisting to be moved to Katutura. Paulina Hangala, a 1959 forced removal survivor told the audience what happened 60 years ago.
The events of that day 60 years ago were shown by a performance of the Old Location Women’s Group. After the remarks of various speakers, Vice President Mbumba and Prime Minister Kuugongelwa Amadthila laid a wreath at the memorial site of those who died on the 10th December 1959.
“Due to the heroic deeds of Kakurukaze Mungunda and other women of note, who stood up for their rights, this day is also being commemorated as Namibia Women´s Day as well as International Human Rights Day in our country”, Mbumba pointed out.

Greetings from Italy 🇮🇹 👋🏻, even if my country is both geographically and culturally far away from Namibia, it is interesting to discover new things about other countries.

Thank u this is amazing

[@cornwillmentoor8583]

A good display of pictorial evidence.. thus a credible account..

[@fillipushaulofu4517]

I have an issue with such depictions of Namibia or Africa as a whole, such little is taught about the people of the country/continent but so much about how they were colonized and enslaved is most or if not all that we know.. The curriculum should be amended to teach African Pride.

[@Didigeneral]

what they forget is that there was not freedom before Colonial time. Namibia wasn't a State. the tribes moved around and had battles for resources of grass and water .

[@dr_amalia]

This is the history I want to know about. What really happened before colonialism? How was Namibia?

[@Ket2452]
