Namibia: Long Walk for Inclusion … Visually Impaired Man Embarks On Journey From Okahandja

Kleopas Petrus, a 32-year-old motivational speaker and advocate for the visually impaired, is preparing to walk 77 kilometres from Okahandja to the Office of the Prime Minister in Windhoek on 5 September 2025.

This is Petrus’ quest to raise awareness about the challenges faced by persons with disabilities and survivors of gender-based violence (GBV) in Namibia.

Petrus, who lost his sight at a young age due to glaucoma, has dedicated his life to breaking barriers for people with disabilities.
