The easternmost kingdom of the five Kavango domains, Hambukushu, is deeply entwined with the rich history of Kangongo.

Though there are plenty of prospects in labor, forestry, and agriculture, Kangongo has seen little investment since Namibia won independence in 1990, despite its historical significance.

Roman Catholic missionaries created the groundwork for the village's educational system when they founded the first primary school, which is housed in a historic structure that is still in use today.

The economy of Kangongo is characterized by subsistence farmers, with very little general services i.e. school, a small clinic and three shops.

Commonly known as "sub-teams within the village," Kangongo boasts several academies and feeder clubs, each with football and netball sides, enriching the sports culture within the community.
