    village, town, city, or country. Namibia has 12 different cultural groups. Prior
    to independence, the different ethnic groups lived separately .There has been
    minimal or no contact between different groups, especially in rural areas. After
    independence, with the advent of freedom of movement and association, our
    people started to mingle with each other. Coming into contact with other

    appreciate , understand and accommodate people from other cultures,
