Namibia at 34!

Namibia's Independence Day celebration, held the day before on 20 March at Wennie du Plessis High School, was a vibrant and significant event that marked the country's freedom from colonial rule. This day is filled with cultural activities, including traditional dances and plays that reflect the journey towards independence. The traditional dances performed during the celebration showcase Namibia's rich cultural heritage and diversity. These dances are not just entertainment, but also serve as a reminder of the struggles and triumphs that led to independence. Through rhythmic movements and colourful attire, dancers express the joy and pride to be Namibian.

Plays staged during the celebration often depict key historical moments and figures associated with Namibia's independence struggle. They serve as educational tools, enlightening younger generations about their country's history and the sacrifices made by their ancestors for freedom.

The Independence Day celebration in Namibia is not just a time for festivities, but also a moment of reflection and gratitude. It is a day when Namibians come together to honour their past, celebrate their present and look forward to a promising future as a united and independent nation.
