The Government has transformed over the Years, shaken by the scale of protest and opposition, the Government embarked on a series of limited reforms in the early 1980's. In 1983, the Constitution was reformed to allow the Coloured and Indian minorities limited participation in separate and subordinate Houses of Parliament. In 1986, the Pass Laws were scrapped. The international community strengthened its support for the anti-apartheid cause. Mass resistance increasingly challenged the Apartheid State, which resorted to intensified repression accompanied by eventual recognition that Apartheid could not be sustained. Petty Apartheid laws and symbols were openly challenged and eventually removed. South Africa held its first democratic election in April 1994 under an interim Constitution. Parliament is the Legislative authority of South Africa and has the power to make laws for the Country, in accordance with the Constitution. The role of Parliament, as the representative of the people, is to promote and oversee adherence to the values of human dignity, equality, non-racialism, non-sexism, and all other rights enshrined in the Bill of Rights, and to oversee the implementation of constitutional imperatives. Through legislative and other measures, Parliament also ensures that the independence, impartiality, accessibility and effectiveness of the judiciary and other state institutions is upheld.

The Living Museum of the Ju'Hoasani is situated in the small Village Grashoek, about halfway between Grootfontein and Tsumkwe, North of the the C44. The Living Museum was the first Living Museum of Namibia! It is a highlight in Tourism in Namibia as well as a good example for a sustainable development of the Bushmen Community. The Living Museum is an authentic open-air Museum where guests can learn a lot about the traditional Culture and the original way of living of the San. The Ju'Hoasani people demonstrate and describe everything with great dedication and the guide translates into English. Almost every offered program is interactive, because it is also great fun for the Ju'Hoasani when the visitors try to shoot an arrow, experience the special Ju'Hoasani rope skipping or try to sing an original song. "... We have 25 actors in our Museum. When the visitors come to see and understand our Culture, the guests but also our children learn about the old traditions which is very important for our community." :Tsamkxao, Manager of the Living Hunter's Museum.

The Living Museum of the Damara which is close to Twyfelfontein, is the first traditional Damara project in Namibia and the only one of its kind, opened in February 2010.

The possibility to experience the traditional Damara Culture in this form exists nowhere else in Namibia or in the World! Together with the Bushmen the Damara belong to the oldest nations in Namibia. Their original Culture was a mixture of an archaic hunter-gatherer culture and herders of cattle, goats and sheep. Due to their loose social structures the Damara were not able to defend themselves against aggressors during the colonization of Namibia.

Within the framework of the Living Museum of the Damara an attempt was made to reconstruct the 'lost culture' of the Damara. Visitors have the unique opportunity to get to know the fascinating traditional Culture of the Damara, thus contributing to the preservation of the Culture as well as to a regular income for the Damara Community that built the Museum.
