Almost a thousand Namibians have signed a petition calling for the removal of the Curt von Francois statue next to the Municipality building in Windhoek chng.it/VYCz8NdZ The petition was started by @aafrobeat with the hashtag #farewellcurt
Tomorrow, Tuesday June 16, at 13h00 Windhoekers will gather for a Silent Protest against racism, gendered violence & police brutality at 4 sites (for social distancing) incl. the Von Francois statue
