Declarations
:
: The research, which poses a minimum risk to participants, was conducted in compliance with the University of Namibia (UNAM) Research Ethics Policy, Regulations and Guidelines which recognises the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (2007). The manuscript is based on research undertaken by an undergraduate student, RNH, and the research proposal was assessed for scientific merit and ethical compliance by the supervisors/lecturers of students at the departmental level. The department committee approved the proposal, following UNAM research ethics guidelines as it is a minimum-risk study that does not include human tissue, children and other vulnerable groups. The research participants volunteered and consented to participate by signing informed consent forms and were treated respectfully. Moreover, they were free to withdraw at any time during the interview and their data was handled confidentially. The University of Namibia does not require formal ethical clearance for undergraduate research projects posing minimum risks to participants, they only require that the proposals be assessed by supervisors and lecturers at department level.
