- This was by far the hardest day of my life in the village and as much as I love my family, I never want to have a repeat of it. People will just starve next time and I will eat bread and disappear. #villagelife #namibia #africanculture
We are here! Woven I'm literally living my life through you right now, all the restrictions in Botswana are hectic! No booze, curfew is 8pm and no interzonal movement all in the fight against the delta variant, so thanks for the content!❤❤🇧🇼
Hello again being South Africa i am enjoying your video everytime ,i can trully relate to your experience especially the fetcthing of water on our head,collecting fire-wood and the ghost forbidden tree that seemed to have scared you,i would like to watch more of your videos
It’s my first time here .... and I must say, I’m hooked. I didn’t know we had content of this caliber 😭😭😭 I love it so much. Thank you for this Madam. My girls will love love love it.
The level of authenticity of Woven’s videos when she’s home is beautiful 🥺❤️. Making me miss home so much. I can literally watch her all day
Village girls rock! Thanks Woven for showcasing our upbringing. The funny thing is that no matter how fancy our current living conditions are, I personally cherish the moment I spent in the village growing up. Pure simple life with free workout sessions (fetching water, wood , cultivating the land for food etc). I cannot wait to return to my roots one day. You are doing an outstanding job with this amazing content. I remember growing up people always assumed we (my siblings and I) did not know anything since we grew up in the village. That so far from the truth. We have our own system that works perfectly for us even though we might need a few things improved such as easy access to water and replanting trees etc. Keep up the good work. Btw, I love your city/urban content as well. Outstanding work with that as well. Do you.You are fortunate to have lived and still living both lives.
True
i recently started watching your videos and one thing so far that i have learnt from you is to be true to yourself, be proud of where you came from and appreciate what you have for the moment.
I have been binge watching woven for hours, I came across this video and at 24:34 I see 3 morden houses behind woven. It's a pity that people are fast to Judge, there are FEW if not ONE person who's always bashing woven saying she stays in a hut but she's living a luxury life in the city. Even if she was staying in a hut there's no problem. Sending love & light to people who are bitter even though they don't know us 🕯🤍
These buckets are the reason some of us have short necks oshili🙈
No no no🤣🤣🤣
😭😂😂
😂😂😂 Ikr
@Noa Penda, but ever elegant strides and posture 😊
😂😂😂😂💀
Back in the good old day when i was a child we use to carry bucket of water on our head here in the country villagr of Jamaica since technology water tanks and pipes around make it more easy love your Videos woven watching from Jamaica have a blessed day
I don’t blame you one bit Woven, team work makes life so much sweeter, agree 💯%. Watching from USA 🇺🇸!
“You know me I can eat bread and sleep” 🤣🤣❤️you must have felt defeated 😂
I laughed so much about the ghost firewood but I know I wouldn’t mess with them like that too 🤣 you know you are scared when you mention being a Christian cause you need all the protection and reassurance 😂😭
I will survive very well in Namibia village, grew up doing it all and wouldn't mind doing it now 💕 💝 ❤️
I really love knowing that we have so many similarities as Africans. If you ever ever find yourself in the Land of the Brave, please do shout. I hope I’ll be in the village ♥️♥️♥️
"We're breaking cultural practices that don't make sense." 😂😂😂
Your content is always incredible. 💯
I like each and every video of you but this one is my best . Andi ku yolo ndati. Greetng from Okahandja
I really enjoy the village content, I learn a lot of thing's from it, I legit love, love it 😘😘
The countdown is on. ,110 days to my Namibia Safari. . .I want to experience this feeling-I want to be right in it. ,adventure is where the heart is and mine’s in Namibia.

I'm a village girl too so I will never get bored watching your videos and you are doing a good job 👏
Today I am the first one here oshili ❤️❤️❤️❤️ super proud of myself💪, we did Joe 😂😂
Don't usually watch You Tube contents but something about this channel, I'm drawn to it, it's authentic and reminds me of my childhood. I keep coming back for more. Thanks Woven
Woven is me 😂😂😂😂I hate it when the kids are at school at the village because I can’t manage!!!! The kids are everything.
It's the "opena iikuni yoshilulu" for me 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I used a wheelbarrow to carry my water, I couldn't put a bucket on my head though some people they would do so. Now im my hood every household has a tap of water, the water only comes out twice week and we store the water in jojo tanks. 🇿🇦
I love ur content. It's the same here Eswatini. We do have a forbidden tree. We can't use it as firewood. Curiosity got the best of me & my siblings one day. We used the forbidden tree for firewood & cooked some food. To our surprise, every person that ate the good had diarrhea & the next day my grandfather went to check on what we used to make the fire. He found that forbidden tree and was angry at us for using it coz we know about it. I don't understand how but I guess the smoke from the wood upsets the stomach somehow. So be careful with those.
We don’t carry water buckets on our heads anymore at both my two villages (Oshikushashipya and Ehenye) as we have taps at home now. But back then yes, but we were still very fortunate to have the taps close to home.
being a handy person that you are when in the village is a blessing!! and yes i do carry water on my head because your village birthed mine (Okam'kukutu).
Things that we take for granted.
You have know idea how wonderful and beautiful this is. Natural life, the way God intended it to be.
one thing about Wov3n, she will deliver the content you sign up for. I love love this.
I love your house alot Woven. It reminds me of where I come from and the efforts I have been putting in to make it better. Yep, some of us have come a long way tuu shili. It's good to remain authentic though. No pretense, I am who I am.
Always looking forward to this type of content 😍super educative! ♡from🇰🇪
I just have to laugh "tilashi amwe" 🤣🤣
Keep doing what you like. God bless 🙏
First to watch an like. 😉😊
I was so happy to see your name lol..similar to mine 😍😍😍
@@naame-owoyeya-malapi2454 i thought it was only me that gets excited when I see a name similar to mine. Nice to meet you mbushe
🤩😁nice to meet u too!
I love this❤❤ . The ghost firewood part though 😂😂🥺
We make the same dish in Jamaica. We call it tin mackerel and white rice. Same with onion, tomatoes and peppers
Growimg up there is nothing I hated like cooking on open fire while it's sunny and hot as hell. I always opted to cook dinner
Of course" we leave home with a certain garment to make that kind of cushion(inkatha in Matebele land Zimbabwe ),If you left home without 1 we use leaves🌿😂
We call it Inkatsa in siswati
@@samnkhosi7350 when they speak about Nguni people "thats us "👊you are my cousin!!!.. my ancestors are from Eswatin and KZN...
Wow that's amazing how our way of life is similar. Because in Namibia also, if you don't have the cloth...you can use leave.
In Jamaica we call it a katta - similar words
If we can have somebody giving such content in every country, we can find a lot of similarities in the African way of life
You are a true and authentic African lady. I love it. Keep it up
yoh Ohauwanga, omalapapa, omundaungilo nomhito💃💃💃💃💃thanks for representing oshili I'm always smiling when I'm watching your videos
I can't get enough of your videos,during the day I watch 2 to 3 and at night I watch 1 u are supper woman 🇿🇦🔥👌💃
That eerily quietness of the forest really gives me chills, it freaking terrifying but I laughed when you said "these are ghost's fire woods and I better back off"😭😭😂😂😂😂, thanks for the content mahn
First I love your videos by the way ✨❤️
My first school l love you mee woven
I love seeing village life and your grandmother🤗
I’m here for this content, reminds me when I cook Tin fish and rice at village hectic 😊
Won you are so well rounded and a good cook too. See Batswana love you. Please come visit-We are definitely coming to the Village.
i love the village vlogs soooo much
I’m happy that you love them, Latunah. Thank you so much for watching ♥️♥️
I once asked why that forbidden tree wood can't be chopped, the answer was because it makes too much ash. so it's not a taboo to chop it at all!!!
The ghost part cracked me😂😂 love from 🇿🇦
Let mw watch and comment later -because woeg i like it already
Notification gang🥳. Let me sit back and enjoy. Content as usual🔥🔥
But the government is failing us to be honest, in a place where there is no access to clean water but the water is not accessible to the community because whyy? Even if the motive is to provide teachers with clean water I believe we as a community also deserve to benefit because it is available
I live for this village vlogs❤️
I only watch village vlogs here...interesting
That forbidden tree l used to use it when granny was not around n nothing happened
Notification Gang checking in lol😃❤️❤️
I love your content. I'm AA and I found out I have an Ovambo ancestor. I love watching your videos to learn and they are so peaceful.
If I have the opportunity to be in Namibia, I would prefer to live in this type of a village. Rural life is very interesting. No hustle and bustle.
New subscriber here from South Africa...love it...we also eat tinned food and rice or any other carb. I also come from a village but live in Johannesburg...love these videos , keep it coming
My sister i know as always you never disappoint representing us village residents........ Big up to you my sister we love you so much
I thought I was missing home until I lived the day in your days, aae opuwo manga am fine. I love you, you very proud of your culture. God bless🙌
I really love your intro... I always have to go back. ❤️🥺
Thank you, Helvi 😊♥️
Oh my! I love this! Raw Africa! How I miss this!
We use too, but not anymore! Mara kakushi kokule noho
Yes we carry water like that in our rural areas and nowadays even in urban areas, that cushion you put on your head we call it Hata in Zimbabwe.
We call it nkatha in Zulu from South Africa
@@melokuhledlomo6494and we call it onghata in oshikwanya
It’s the barber for me man🤣🤣
I enjoyed this
Oshili if it’s not a village vlog ,iniihala vakwee😂😂
Vakwetu o trim ya Nadipite took me out 😂😂😂😂
@@ItsWoven 🤣🤣
Thank you so much Woven, I enjoy your videos always whenever I miss my village life , my home sickness medicine 🙈🙈🙈 salamat Po 🤩🤩😍😍
When I here your voice In the village I smile 😃
The description box is hilarious 😂😂🤣
I loooooove this...xoxo
I like your village is so solemn many green trees and very interesting place
6:58 got me laughing so hard😂😂. True village queen❤
Its the "Im going to unforbid it today " for me 🤣🤣🤣
You’re amazing and I love watching you!
We do fetch water. ... The same way here in India 🇮🇳. You can't believe 😀.
I can't wait to come back home 😂🇳🇦
I collect omupako too my dear if I can't find the other species around 😂😂😂😂 actually the reason why we don't collect omupako woods is because it doesn't last. You put it on the fire, within secs it turns into ashes. ☺️☺️☺️ Aaah village life is still the one.
Hooo, Woven, I like the video clip you did in the village, you did not pretend, you made it realistic. That is how our people live in Oshiwambo tradition, keep it up my girl!!!!!!
Thank you Leevi 🙏🏾. There’s a lot to be proud about tradition and the world needs to see our beautiful culture!!
I came across your channel a few days ago... this videp reminds me of visiting my grandmother in Limpopo..
You are a wonderful cooker
its woven. I would really love to come spend time in your village. there's just so much quiet and peace over there. and you are super super so original. I'm so jealous of the life you live. simply amazing
forest have a lot of mysteries,and we should respect it.they're spirit leaving there.
LOL!!!!! The ghost fire wood got me laughing. I legit said "It's cause you chopped from the tree"!
Ghost firewood, iyoo😂😂 vakwetu Woven alala😂😂😂😂
From my rural area which is in the north west province in SA awe still fetch water the very same way but yhooo I can’t my neck and back can’t take it.
"...More of the forbidden tree...personally, I'm going to unforbid it today..."🤣🤣😭♥️
Ohauwanga is the village I like it. Our country lady you doing very nice. U cooking really..🍲🍲It'swoven
You are still strong and capable of balancing the bucket on your head . You defy the times . But I am not happy with processed food in the village . It saddens me . That is certainly the best desert . You have done a good job. Again once in a while there is no harm in processed foods . In the village we expect natural products of the land .
Its not a movie or a drama, its reality we dont eat wild food that's what we eat in Namibia, we go Shopping at the mall for our village foods
Congratulation owoven
Og lady I don't know you personally infact I don't need to know you either, in short I bumped into your CZcams. I adore you much either as a village or city woman. I learned alot from you 😍
Awesome
The similarities wooow but anyway we are Africa🇿🇦🥰
I love your village vlogs so much. Keep it up!!!
And it's uploaded before time 💃💃💃
Oh dear Woven you are so hard working oshili kaana kameme 😁😝,in herero land we use donkeys cards (okakara) to fetch water mostly we , somehow at some point we also put them on our heads but it's a difficult process aye man 🥺🤦🏾♀️,so we do we scroll them on the same until home I'd there is no car or donkey cards.and when we collect trees there are specific ones we not supposed to use apperantly 🙄😄,and the elderly always find out by looking if you just ignore and fetch them,and kaana we clean our fish and remove everything in the stomach like bones and fish eggs in the middle but u guys just pour it like that 🤩,and we also don't wash our rice .it was a lovely content keep it up
I broke the English 😂 so bad but at the part of fetching the water I was saying we scroll them on the ground Sand until home some times it's a long distance 🤗🥺🤦🏾♀️
I hope I was first to comment!💃🏾
I’ll go search for more 😂😂😂
This was so enjoyable.. Love how you are soo grounded and still cook and collect firewood and water.... Keep it up
It’s the way you were scared of the ghosts fire wood for me🤣🤣🤣🤣
ai yebo aiyebo jajajah content

"Look at this ka group , there is no footprints " ogh lol 🤣🤣🤣🤣😅😅😅😂🤣
