Timeless Traditions: Nama People's Enduring Lifestyle in the Northern Cape

Journey into the heart of the Northern Cape and discover the remarkable continuity of the Nama people's way of life spanning two centuries. Amidst the winds of change, the Nama people have held steadfast to their distinctive lifestyle, characterized by the iconic long dresses, full skirts, and Voortrekker bonnets reminiscent of the early Dutch settlers in the 1800s. Witness the time-honored traditions as they prepare food and cultivate a connection to their history in the same ways as their ancestors. Adapting to their semi-nomadic existence and the challenging environment, they've ingeniously crafted portable, beehive-shaped huts from woven reeds-a symbol of their resilience against the extremes of summer's heat and winter's chill. Join us in celebrating the Nama people's enduring spirit and the living testament of their heritage. ‪@Tekweni‬
