What do namibian boys wear?

In Namibia, the traditional attire for boys is the Otjize (pronounce OT-yee-zeh). The Otjize is a calf length animal skin garment that is worn wrapped around the body. Boys typically start wearing the Otjize at around the age of 12 and continue to wear it until they become men. The Otjize is usually accompanied by a leather belt and a small knife, called an okapi, which is tucked into the belt. In some cases, boys may also wear a head covering, such as a cap or headband.

In modern Namibia, the traditional attire is typically worn for ceremonies, special events, and cultural celebrations. However, some boys also choose to wear it on a daily basis. The Otjize is a symbol of pride and identity for Namibian boys and is often passed down from generation to generation.
