Regional/Cultural Day

Versoeningsdag

Originally the Day of the Vow commemorating the 1838 Battle of Blood River in South Africa, now reframed as a day of reconciliation between all Namibian communities. In Namibia, the day is observed with interfaith services and community dialogues about the legacy of colonialism, the Herero and Nama genocide, and the path toward national healing.
