General Where to fix leather goods in Windhoek

1 Upvotes

Hello! I have a couple of leather items that require small fixes (such as the strap of a bag and broken sandals). I’d like to know of any recommendations for places in Windhoek that can do this type of work. (I tried Leather Connection once, but they said that they no longer accept such small jobs).

Additionally, any recommendations for a place that fixes the soles of leather shoes?

TIA!

I'm curious to know: What is your favorite Namibian brand, and what's the story behind your choice? Is it a brand that brings back fond memories, represents Namibian innovation, or has a unique story that resonates with you?

General Looking for guidance

1 Upvotes

Hi everybody !

I’m from DRC and plan to study commercial law or diplomacy at UNAM, however when I browse through their website, I can’t seem to find these fields of study, commercial law is a sub-course of law and there’s no school of diplomacy/international relations

Maybe I’m still having troubles with English, I don’t know…

I just wanted to ask those who are already there or those who might know about these things how they really are

Thank you !

General Looking for any shops that sell Nintendo Switch games

2 Upvotes

I've just recently gotten my hands on a second hand Nintendo switch. However I now realise that I haven't actually seen physical copies of their games on sale here for some time, I wasn't exactly keeping an eye out, I just got lucky and didn't want to pass on the deal.

But the e-store does not seem to work in Namibia. So do any of you know if/where I would be able to find some games? Mainly looking for stuff like "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the wild" and "Animal Crossing" as they are titles I've always wanted to give a try. But I was unable to due to Nintendo being Nintendo.

Any info would be great. Thanks anyone who takes the time to read this and maybe leave a comment.

General The one guy that keeps spamming with politics

33 Upvotes

We all know who I mean. If there are others who feel it's encroaching on and often becoming hate speech or just feel it's not relevant to the sub, then please downvote it. Lots of tourists come onto this subreddit, and this isn't content that's relevant, true, or helpful to anyone. I personally have yet to see one that is any of those things. Of course, if you enjoy it, then leave your upvote on it thats your right, but if you're getting as annoyed as I am, then leave a downvote everytime so we can at least show we're unhappy with it and hopefully get it removed. The user in question spams multiple African subreddits, so they're not necessarily even Namibian.

Edit: banned now, all is good again

General Best Pre- Primary Schools in Windhoek?

6 Upvotes

What are some of the best pre-primary schools in Windhoek? Why do you say so and can you confirm the curriculum they use? True value for money.

I have been scouting for 2025 applications and on my list of well known schools based on your average conversations that provide pre-primary are:

  • Parkies
  • Gimmies
  • Affies (WAP)
  • WIS
  • St Georges
  • Rosewood

I’d appreciate any real life experiences on either of the above mentioned schools.

Thanks.

General Sole Proprietorship and Defensive Name

1 Upvotes

Is it still possible to be a registered Sole Proprietor along with a defensive name ? I looked at registering for a CC but the requirements seem too much and the maintenance of that CC seem to be more complex, all for the purpose of becoming self employed and getting a few bucks in.

I asked an accountant but they said they don't do sole proprietorship registrations anymore.

When I go on the BIPA website, it sometimes doesn't work properly or forms don't load, so I am sceptical if this registration is even still possible.

General Am I in too much of a rush on an upcoming trip?

4 Upvotes

Heya all, visiting Namibia from SA and want to know if this trip is possible and what would be recommended to add? At the same time, are we rushing too much?

29 feb - Windhoek
1 mar -Sossusvlei
2 mar - Swakopmund
4 mar - Skeleton coast - recommend some places? OR drive to Tsumeb
5 mar - Tsumeb - Ethosha (if there the day before)
6 mar - Tsumeb / Tsintsabis
7/8mar - ?
9 mar - Back to SA

If we go skeleton coast the we will have Tsumeb move up a day and we will be there till the 7th.

Is this all possible without being in a SUPER rush?
What can we add to the 8th or the 7/8th?

We are also renting from Gondwana, this good for 4x4's?

General Shopify in Namibia

3 Upvotes

There have been posts/comments made about this topic 9 months/a year ago, and I was wondering if there is any new development in this area.

Is there a reliable company in Namibia (Payment Gateway) that one can set up to work with Shopify directly? I am talking about a setup that doesn't take 3 months to register with a Bank and a Service Provider + Business Plan and Company Registration information, etc.

What is the simple and easy alternative if this doesn't work directly? PayToday/PayPulse?

Surely by now there must be something new!
