People angry at Okahandja town leaders want them to cancel a big party. Community leader Gerub Gaseb says families feel scared because killers still walk free. Young women died and police cannot find who did it. Nobody has been arrested for the murders. Parents keep children inside their homes during school test time.

The trade expo will feature only music and fun activities for several days. Event planners refused to add prayers or speeches about the dead girls. Many business owners pulled out of the fair and want their money back. Gaseb calls the celebration inappropriate during this sad time for the town.

Residents sent letters and made phone calls asking officials to wait. Town council members ignored community requests and continued planning the festival. Gaseb warns voters will remember this decision during future elections. He believes leaders waste taxpayer money on pointless entertainment. The community wants justice before any celebrations can happen.
