FOUR young people from Oshakati and Ongwediva in the Oshana Region have established a free comedy show as part of efforts to teach other young people how to live better.
They perform while dressed in vintage attires.
Asser Nghuumbwa (24), Fillemon Johannes (26), Sevelinus Petrus (27) and Erastus Shithigona (29) have begun a project known as “Maria Dia Gweleli Art and Comedy”.
Nghuumbwa said that the idea was born when they arrived at a birthday celebration in March last year wearing a nod to the 1980s and sporting suspenders, which caused many guests to laugh out loud.
“We instantly recognized that as a window of opportunity to form a comedy group,” he said.
He indicated that they are a group of young people who possess a range of skills, and only want to educate others.
Nghuumbwa clarified that they also want to make people laugh while raising awareness of different social causes and topics of national interest.
Nghuumbwa said that despite their mobility issues, they are determined to have an influence on the society.
“Our generation has forgotten its reason for existing, so we are providing this service without charge for the benefit of the young people,” he added
He emphasized that they want the young people to think back on their previous manner of life and change their own lives.
