Namibia: Africa's New Far West


Namibia has the third highest levels of income inequality in the world. 6% of the population own 70% of the land and here, the wounds of German Colonisation run deep. Between 1904 -1908, the Germans established concentration camps where the indigenous Herero and Nama people were interned. Up to 80% of them died in what Germany later recognised…

  1. Made money from Crypto, no more like a union boss and getting union money from the workers. That money is deducted from the workers salary and you are forced to belong to a union. They are dangerous the EFF and NEFF will destroy the country. Look what going on in your neighboring South Africa.

  2. Foreign interference has and is suffocation our potential! Africa we really need to be one nation. United and moving one direction. We will rise against racism, neocolonialism and exploitation of any form. We can develop our nation our way
    differing from the west or east, protect our values, restore our dignity and keep our spirit of "Ubuntu" Everyone roaming our continent will do things our way

  3. I'm a white farmer (boer) in Namibia. We bought our farm after Namibian independence. Many of our neighbors are black farmers. They are very friendly people and we get along quite well. They are also very successful farmers. As much as I am sad about what Germany did in the past, I am glad to see that they are at least trying to make reparations. I hope that they can come to a resolution which will benefit all Namibians and empower more black people to be successful farmers. I hope Namibia will remain a peaceful country and that black and white farmers will learn to work together and support each other.

  4. This should reach all corners of Africa! We need to see who and what we're up against including our own selfish leaders. History will always what the agenda has always been.

  5. And, of course – no one remembers that diamonds were not worth anything before De Beers made them a commodity. These people were not deprived of anything, Thye did not know what they had because they did not have anything before the 'colonizers' came.

  6. Da wird's nie friedliche Lösung des Problems, viele österreichische, deutsche die nach dem 2.Weltkrieg in Sambia, rhodiesen u.anderen Ländern überĺebt haben Minen, Brücken zu bauen Strassen sind weder nach Süd West, Südafrika gegangen sowie Ukraine u.kosaken die würden damals verkauft 1948 Ende somals Sie angeblich nach Russland und Australien usw. Man müsste die Nachkommen fragen da gibt's noch Bücher, wer nicht an Erschöpfung, Malaria, giftschlangen oder erschossen wurde bei Flucht etc.

  7. They want land back. Ask it from the government. Hereroland was autonomous before independence. But Herero people you called it Apartheid. You had your chance at the Turnhalle. Sort it out with your majority Ovambo brothers.

  8. Inequality and poverty are 2 very different things. Namibia may be one of the most unequal countries in the world BUT it is top 5 wealthiest most developed nations in sub Saharan Africa. The average Namibian has a better standard of living than an average Nigerian, Africa's largest economy. Inequality is subjective and constantly changing due to the improvement of the standards of living in the measured nation. Switzerland and Singapore have inequality too and yet are amongst the best places on earth to be an average Joe. Poverty alleviation and creation of conditions for easy upward mobility should be the focus, not crying and complaining about inequality. Inequality will forever remain in human societies and isn't a bad thing.

  9. EFF is a marxist socialist group , marxism/socialism has failed in 30 countries in the last 50 years , look at eastern Europe they start now to be rich because they have gone in opposite direction than socialism……….already Namibian economy is weak if you introduce marxism will become extremely poor….China or Russia will colonize it again

  10. just imagine someone takes your home and tells you in your face that this is his country and he owns everything but you have nothing same like South Africa the economy is one sided but we fighting to get the one day it mighty take time but we will get the

  11. Never seen such a biased, one-sided documentary written about Namibia. Whoever wrote this comment should get his knowledge of Namibian history right and stop spreading lies! We don't need your leftwing propaganda to destroy our peace and harmony in this country!!
