Herero people in traditional attire (Namibia). The Herero are an ethnic group inhabiting parts of Southern Africa, primarily Namibia. They are a relatively small group in the broader context of Southern Africa, with an estimated population of around 250,000 to 300,000 in Namibia, where they are one of the largest ethnic groups. The Herero are traditionally cattle-herding pastoralists, and social status has often been linked to the number of cattle owned. Herero women are known for their distinctive clothing, which includes long Victorian-style dresses. These dresses are often brightly colored and feature large, voluminous petticoats. The headgear, known as the horned headdress or Otjikaiva, is also an iconic element of Herero women's attire, resembling the shape of cattle horns. The Herero people have a complex history, including a period of German colonial rule in Namibia during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This colonial era was marked by conflict, oppression, and the Herero and Nama genocide, in which a significant portion of the Herero population was killed.
