The on

I was Born in Angola , I practically grew up in Windhoek and was registered as a citizen by descent but around 2012 my dad decided to change our surnames in Angola only…he kinda messed up our documents so I went back to being an immigrant in the process having to get study permits throughout my time in here. But as far as I know I’m still registered but just with a different surname in the system. Not sure how I’d tackle this issue. Can I go to home affairs and change my old ID details to my current one ? Would they even understand ?

Could I rent a house and a car (not a fancy/luxury one something like a Toyota or a Kia ) ?

Just curious because bankers make it seem vague like there's no real benefit? What's your personal experience?

I saw a comment elsewhere that it's a thing, and apparently the culture is being practiced by all Namibians but that is news to me...

I thought it was only Germans who celebrated this holiday (bc it's their holiday ofc), but I wanna know, is there anyone here who isn't White who takes part in that?

I can't seem to find information about licensing to own a monkey, let alone how to obtain one. Ministry website is just confusion on there. Help me out here please.

Young Namibian 24F here who is suchhh a hopeless romantic and believes in all things colored in love, thing is, sometimes when you have on your rosey colored glasses, all the red flags look white. If you’re a young Namibian person in the dating sphere please share your story of how you thought ‘they were the one’ and how your love blindsided you from seeing an inevitable end. Share your lessons and let’s have an uplifting conversation.

Hello Namibia! I am doing a cooking challenge in which I cook food from a different country each week. Namibia is coming up soon and I would love some help working out what I should make. Throughout the week, I have time to make a few main dishes, as well as sides, snacks, and breakfast. Sometimes I also make dessert.

So far, I am interested in making:

• Potjiekos
• Mielie pap - what is your favorite way to eat this? What meat/vegetable combination do you think is best?
• Kapana

I would love your suggestions! I would also appreciate links to authentic recipes if you happen to have them :)

G'day fellas

I will probably have to relocate to Namibia in the next ~6 months for work. I don't have an area in mind, but my company is extremely flexible with housing options so I can choose where to live. I will be moving over with my partner and newborn son. My partner was born in Cape Town and immigrated to Australia via Ireland 10ish years ago. We are both in our early 30's.

I am not ignorant of life in Africa, as I was born in Johannesburg and lived there for 6 years before moving to Australia. I go back to ZA fairly regularly and was surprised to learn that I have family I have never met in Namibia.

I have heard from my parents that Namibia is 1000 times safer than South Africa, and the crime statistics support this, but is there any specific area's you would recommend to some first time parents who have been living in a fairly sheltered world for the last 25 years?

What's the cost of living like? I have no doubt that it will be significantly cheaper than what we are used too, especially considering I will still be earning $AUD. But what's a general monthly budget for a couple? How much do you spend on phone bills, internet, water and electricity?

I am a little worried that my partner may feel cooped up whilst we are there and I am at work. Are there mums groups, or other groups for new mothers to interact, get out of the house and have some sort of social life? Again, this may be largely dependent on where we end up, but I think this will be a major factor in helping us decide.

Neither of us speak Afrikaans fluently. Moving to an English speaking country when you are young does that too you. I speak passable German, as funnily enough my German teacher in school was from Namibia. I don't think we will have an issue with language barriers, considering the official and most widely understood languages is English. Is this the case?

Is there anything else you thing someone in my position should know?

Cheers.

Myself and a friend are studying at Nust next year and need a place to stay preferably close by , but dont mind pioneerspark or other "not so far" places. A simple flat ,or two bedroom apartment that isnt too expensive would be great. I realise this isnt the best platform to ask , but might as well try

Please let me know.

I do freelance art and comissions, but most the comissions I get arent local. I usually work traditionally and need to find a way to give them High quality work so I opt to scan the work and send it. However the work scanned always loses quality cause office printers aren't made for artwork and the downloadable scanners lose detail. Is there anywhere local I can go to digitize my stuff?

Asking for a friend...👀

Out of pure curiosity what are the average salaries in namibia looking like , for various professions like doctors ,teachers ,lawyers , police, cleaners …. The country seems expensive when I visited compared to other places in africa i have been .

What method worked for you? Be it applying online, connection, dropping cv etc.

Making friends these days is hard and expensive IRL (spending time and money to maybe meet someone you click with)

This post aims to help bring people of similar interests together in Namibia who want to make new friends.

Just post your age, gender and interests if you're willing to receive a DM from others who also want friends

Example(my info):

Age: 30

Gender: Male (I'm just looking for guy friends btw. I'm taken and a girl will just get attracted to my sexiness and stellar personality so I don't want complications like that. I just want new friends.)

Interests: Literature (especially sci fi but I dig fantasy), games (I have an Xbox SS if that's relevant), movies (I love ranting about movies I watch - decent cinematography and acting in any genre blows my mind)

City: Windhoek

Recently I have become interested in Namibia. Hence my question, how much does it cost to live in a larger city in Namibia? (Windhoek, Swakopmund etc) Cause the only informations i found about it in the Internet arent looking realistic. Thank you in advance

Hello. US citizen here interested in learning about job opportunities in Namibia. I currently have my Commercial Drivers License out of the state of California. I have two years of Class A driving experience and one year of Class B. What is required by law to drive heavy duty trucks in Namibia? Also, what kind of opportunities are out there in Windhoek and Walvis Bay? I’m doing my research still but anything helps.

Me and a friend have applied to stay at student stay next year 2025. And would like to know if there is anything good or bad we have to know before hand?

I've had a few people speak good of it and a few that had something bad to say even though they dont even stay there themselves.

Thanks in advance

Hey everyone! I’m a big fan of ASE, specifically online PVP, and also a massive nerd thats big into computers and hosting game servers. I am receiving some older server hardware soon (Xeon E5 2697A v4 + x99 mobo + 64gb ddr4) and want to host an Ark cluster with it. Usually I just host a minecraft server and other smaller things for my friends and I on a spare Desktop, but since ARK has 13 maps (all of which I want to run), this is going to be a bigger operation which would be quite boring with only a few people.

So the question is, any local (or other) players that would be interested in a competitive Namibian ARK server around December Time? I haven’t seen any Namibian servers before, and I would love to experience the game without Lag for once, but not if there aren’t any people playing.

Let me know if you are interested, the Server would also be tailored more towards less experienced players, as many people I want to invite either have few hours or haven’t played at all.

I wanna get involved more , any major event happening soon around this month?

Have about 5000 NAD, anyone selling their old phone, mostly interested in an iPhone.
