ATTENDEES of this year’s Heroes’ Day commemorative ceremony in Omuthiya, Oshikoto Region, can look forward to an event filled with entertainment.
At least ten cultural groups from ten different regions have already gathered at the Oshikoto Museum in the host town, where they are rehearsing their dancing skills, hoping that their performances on Monday will leave the crowd wanting more.
The troupes are from regions such as Oshikoto, Kunene, Otjozondjupa, Erongo, Omaheke, Zambezi, Hardap, Omusati, and Kavango West.
The cultural troupes showcase not only talent but also the diversity among Namibian people from all walks of life.
Haymich Oliver from the College of the Arts, who is responsible for the choreography, indicated that rehearsals started on Wednesday and will conclude on Sunday.
Oliver said that the rehearsals are progressing well.
The 34th Heroes’ Day is being held under the theme: “Honouring our Martyrs (Heroes and Heroines)” and will take place at the Omuthiya recreational park.
