A New Chapter For Khoekhoegowab - Nama Online Radio Is Here
The Nama people of Botswana are a small Indigenous community belonging to the wider Khoekhoe cultural and linguistic group of southern Africa. They live mainly in the southwestern parts of the country, especially around the Kgalagadi region, where their history is closely tied to pastoralism, herding livestock in arid environments. The Nama language, Khoekhoegowab, is known for its distinctive click sounds, though today many Nama also speak Setswana or Afrikaans.
