What is "omagongati"

Omagongati is a village situated at the northern part of Namibia in Ondangwa constituency, Oshana region, it simply borders the Kingdom of Ondonga from that of Kwambi, and it is under the leadership of the headman Mr. Noah Nakwfila, well known as Kapinya. Omagongati is as far from Ondangwa as it is from Oshakati, roughly 17 km away and 11km from Ongwediva. It is surrounded by numerous villages, namely Ashaaga, Onelago, Uudhengelo and Okatha, with the nearest town Eheke which has a high school and more improved infrastructures.

As most other villages country wide, Omagongati also suffered the consequences of flood because it is in a flood prone area. During the colonial era this village was also affected, the inhabitants’ houses were destroyed and their cultivating land was left dilapidated, although the village managed to reframe a moment after the war.
