Rehoboth Rises in Virtual Walk After Okahandja Killings

Rehoboth people walked five kilometers on Saturday to honor murder victims from Okahandja. They gathered at Kaap Agri early morning and headed toward Oanob Dam on the gravel road. Step Up Ark Community Organization arranged this virtual walk for hope and healing. Martha McNab founded this nonprofit to support those affected by violence. The group aims to build a shelter for women and children facing danger.

Walkers meet each Saturday in May to share stories and show support. They want to break the silence around violence at home and create safer communities. McNab walked across the Hardap region herself in 2023 as a personal journey. Her experience showed her how walking opens hearts and starts important talks. Community member Margrit Swarts joined both for exercise and to honor recent victims.

Walking together helps people process grief and find comfort. The participants believe in the power of community action against violence. They walk to send a message that every life matters. Their steps represent unity and determination to create change. They hope to inspire care and love rather than hurt among neighbors.
