The Herero people are a Bantu ethnic group primarily found in Namibia, Botswana, and Angola. They are organized into various clans or lineages, each with its own chief or leader. Some of the major Herero clans include the Ovaherero, Ovambanderu, and Ovahimba. These clans play an important role in Herero society, helping to maintain social order, resolve disputes, and preserve cultural traditions.
