Damara Executive Committee

DEC was founded by a group of people based in the Damara Tribal Executive Committee (DTEC), which was not a political party as such.

In 1971 Gawanab, together with Justus ǁGaroëb from the Damara Council, are appointed leaders of the Dama people by the South African occupation authorities.

In 1977 DEC joined the Namibia National Front.

In 1978 it left the NNF and joined the Namibia People's Liberation Front.
