Erongo Regional Cultural Festival
The annual Erongo Regional Cultural Festival, which was held at the town of Usakos on Saturday, has been hailed a success by the organisers and participants. The festival had a record entry of 500 participants in cultural performances who travelled from as far as Otjimbingwe and Utuseb.

The Ministry of Youth, National Service, Sport and Culture hosted the festival with the aim of making a contribution towards the promotion and preservation of the country's rich and diverse cultural heritage.

"This cultural festival creates a platform for learners of participating schools to embrace Namibia's cultural heritage. The festival is aimed at providing people residing in the region with an opportunity to appreciate the diversity of cultures in Namibia, and more specifically in the Erongo Region," said Gerson Geingob, head of the Multi-purpose Centre at the town.

The festival was held under the theme "One Namibia, One Nation."
