Education Minister Sanet Steenkamp spoke at the Nama Cultural Festival on Friday. She told people at Keetmanshoop about saving local cultures and languages. The minister said the event helps bring different generations together. She wants communities to work toward unity and peace through their shared traditions. The festival gives people a chance to remember their history and take action.

Steenkamp talked about changes happening across the country. Schools have reformed their teaching methods and people embrace their heritage more. The government sees cultural preservation as a top priority for everyone. Officials plan to add native languages to regular school subjects as part of a bigger strategy. This move goes beyond simple gestures to create real change.

The minister stressed that parents must teach children their native tongues first. She asked families to sign up kids for Waipo language classes. Young adults should train to become indigenous language teachers. More scholarships need funding to meet growing demand for these programs. Communities must step up efforts to keep their languages alive for future generations.
