Herero Day

Herero Day (also known as Red Flag Day and Red Flag Heroes' Day, (ヘレロ語:Otjiserandu)) is a gathering of the Herero people of Namibia to commemorate their deceased chieftains. It is held in Okahandja in central Namibia annually on August 26, the day and place Herero chief Samuel Maharero's body was reburied alongside his ancestors in 1923.〔(1923 in Namibia ) KlausDierks.com〕 Accordingly, the celebrations last three days long, although they usually begin on the Sunday nearest the 23rd.〔
==Background==
The Battle of Waterberg on 11 August 1904 was the final battle of the Herero Wars. Following the defeat of the Herero force, the surviving Hereros fled into the Kalahari Desert under the leadership of Samuel Maharero. Of the estimated 4-6,000 Herero warriors, only 1,175 reached their destination of British Bechuanaland, the rest died of thirst, hunger, and diseases.
Samuel Maharero gained British asylum at the Bechuanaland Protectorate and lived in exile at Tsau until 1907, and later in the Transvaal.〔 Only after he died on 14 March 1923 was his body relocated to South-West Africa. His remains arrived at Okahandja on 23 August 1923, and on 26 August he was reburied there.〔(1923 in Namibia ) KlausDierks.com〕
Unaware of the role the reburial would play as a commemoration of anti-colonialisation and a symbol of nationalism, the South African administration granted permission for the reburial. The respective ceremony was attended by 3,000 Hereros and by 100 Whites, including high-ranking government officials. Since then, Herero Day is held annually as a gesture of resistance, unity and loyalty, as well as defiance against colonisation, particularly that by the Germans.〔
