Meanwhile  in Windhoek, Namibia – In an unexpected twist, Namibia’s capital found itself grappling with an unusual dilemma after a wild bash at the Gammams cemetery last weekend turned the hallowed grounds into what some called a “graveyard rave.” City officials have now issued a stern warning, promising to crack down on anyone who tries to turn tombstones into dance floors or funerary plots into party plots.

Eyewitnesses reported that parts of the cemetery resembled a makeshift shebeen, complete with booming music, cooler boxes overflowing with beverages, and groups merrily raising glasses amid the headstones. One baffled mourner described the scene as “like stumbling into a nightclub where the DJ spins from beyond the grave.”

Social media erupted with reactions, including one viral post calling the event “a hauntingly bad idea” and lamenting, “I didn’t sign up for a ghostly kegger when I came to pay respects.”

City officials, clearly not amused by the undead party vibes, issued a no-nonsense statement insisting, “This is sacred ground, not a disco inferno.” They warned that anyone caught turning cemeteries into impromptu party zones or leaving behind empty bottles and confetti will face criminal prosecution. Surveillance has been ramped up, with city workers reportedly considering hiring a team of nocturnal zombie wardens to keep the peace.

This is not the first time Gammams has made headlines for all the wrong reasons; back in 2021, the cemetery was the scene of chaotic gunfire and reckless driving during a funeral procession. The city insists it’s determined to keep the dead at rest and the living behaving, reminding everyone firmly that cemeteries are meant for solemn remembrance, not spontaneous shindigs.

Next time you feel the urge to dance among the departed, you might just find yourself the star of a very different kind of headline.
