Namibia recently transformed a remote village in the Omaheke region into sacred ground, as the nation gathered to commemorate the life and legacy of a man who dared to dream of a free Namibia. The inauguration of the Hosea Kutako Memorial Museum and Homestead Shrine, held at Toasis in the Aminus constituency last Tuesday, marked a significant moment, honouring a leader who ignited the flame of Namibian independence. The event commenced with a traditional ceremony at the holy fire, symbolising the spiritual and cultural grounding of the proceedings. This sacred ritual, deeply rooted in Namibian heritage, along with traditional Otjiherero chants, cultural performances and powerful poetry, further immersing attendees in the country’s cultural heritage.
