Namibia is… GERMAN?!


Yesterday, I arrived in Namibia (my 143rd country!) to start a 10 day tour with G Adventures! But as I’ve been wandering around the unique capital city of Windhoek, I couldn’t help but notice how GERMAN everything feels. Seriously, the culture is bizarre here in Namibia!

As I investigated further, I discovered that Namibia was a German colony…

  1. Namibia can never and will never: love, care, support, allow, be Germany. Germany is a dumb small country that came and destroyed Namibia. Germany can never pay for what they did. If I had the choice, I would chase all Germans from Namibia, never to come back again.

  2. As a Namibian perspective, these statements are misleading and somewhat nonsense, we
    Namibians learn dozens of different languages, but here in Namibia we use "English" in everyday
    communication, almost no one understand German, you don't need German to visit Namibia, by the
    way if you still want to use German than go and search for German speakers in Windhoek city, only
    2% of the population can speak German here, good luck finding them, the official language of
    Namibia is English.

  3. The first genocide of the 20th century occurred against the Indigenous peoples of what is now Namibia. Known as the Herero and Namaqua Genocide, it entailed the slaughter of approximately 50,000 – 65,000 Herero and 10,000 Nama individuals between 1904 and 1907 by German military forces, resulting in the near eradication of their entire populations. It's not surprising that German culture remains deeply ingrained in the fabric of present-day Namibia.

  4. We Tanzania in East Africa were under the Germans there only legacy is the Lutheran church denomination which is the most powerful in the whole country only that the rest of German legacy none

  5. Germany commits the first genocide of the 20th century in Namibia.
    Germany shamelessly defends lsrael's genocide of Palestinians in Gaza.
    Jewish youtuber Drew Binsky shamelessly calls Namibia "German".
    You cannot make this sh!t up.

  6. The German colonies are doing the best in average actually and i really wished that Germany would've gotten into some strong connection with the old colonies to further support them especially in the harder times, but as a German i truly love Namibia from a political and liveable point of view, there arent many countries in Africa where i think i would move to but Namibia outrules even many European countries.

  7. thinking about writing an alternate history novel where the confederacy won the American Civil War but later joins the Allies of the Great War(ww1) in the early 1900's. The main character would be a young man of Nambian blood who grew up within the German Empire and decides to serve his Kaiser and his Empire in military service, defending The German Empire against an invasion by the confederate states of america and the other allied nations of the war.

  8. Namibia know your Culture and History and talk your ORIGINAL TONG.Namibia of their Own have a Beautiful Culture.The German has a Beer Culture.People from Namibia do not go Backward but Forward know your History who was full of Greatness.
