Honouring our leaders in style
Twapewa-Ashihe Mungoba
Independence Day has been an annual celebration at Delta Secondary School Windhoek. Every year it gets bigger and better, with a little more spark added to it.
The History Society, which is made up of several Deltarians of all grades and the founder, a history teacher Mrs Kapolo. This year’s celebrations shall not disappoint as we celebrate Independence Day which is an important day, because it gives learners knowledge on what actually happened during apartheid and why it is so relevant in today's times.
Learners are thus able to appreciate what they have today, because of the struggle that took place. The History Society prepares various cultural performances, dramas and even poems just to keep the crowd on their toes.
Hage !Nou-/Gawaseb, a matriculant from our school who also serves as the chairperson of the society tells us that “Independence Day celebrations are important, because on this day, we are able to thank our heroes who made it possible for us to be sitting in a free country as they did not only liberate us, they gave black people their own identity as human beings”.
“The preparations have already kicked off and the History Society is prepared to give it their all like they usually do. Rehearsals are going well with just a few logistical issues we need to solve before the big day," says Hage.
The event will take place on 16 March, as that is the last Friday before the midterm break. It usually takes place during school hours and the learners are always dressed in their respective cultural attire. A cake is also served on this day; after all we are celebrating the birthday of the nation.
The teachers including the principal, Ms Jacobie and the rest of the learners always look forward to this day as it's such a remarkable one. "Looking back at the previous years, the celebrations were never disappointing," according to a 10th grader, Auguste Iyambo.
So let's all unite and celebrate together!
