Wow, tsumeb os such a gods and Nice town. I also passes though ir on my way to Windhoek from Angola, we had 2 hours tour and it was such a great experience!
I am glad interacting with and Angolan brother. I hope Almighty God continue blessing you.
Greeting from black home, Angola
That is the one of the nicest little town in the entire world not only in Africa and Namibia. Wish to visit there am from Tanzania 🇹🇿
No " All White Town" supposed be in any of the countries in Africa. Just listen this silly black women talking like its some to laugh about. U should be on protest to drive out those german dutch out of Africa. Ms josey u are a whitewash African walking with colonizers. People like keeps Africa backward.
A lot of nice looking cars and trucks. Great video
Nice to share about the Town in Namibia, thanks Josey.
My pleasure!
During the Angolan border war many South African troups were based in Grootfontein and Katimo Mulilo and other places in the north of Namibia. The Afrikaners from Namibia have been there long before the 90s or apartheid they settled in the 1800s.

This was a great walk, the conversation 😊
Definitely more of Namibia video
Grootfontein = Big fountain or great spring. In Namibia there are no specific towns for certain people, we live together as one in Namibia and 70 to 80% of the population is fluent in Afrikaans. just for information there are many interesting tourist spots around Grootfontein such as the Hoba Meteorite is one of the tourist attractions in the area. It landed about 80,000 years ago
I was curious about this supposed all white town, because didn't know that such a place existed, and I am Namibian. It's misinformation.
Waaw!! Thats a WHOLE LOTTA
... KAA🥫🥫🥫🥫🥫NSS!!
Gr00t job Miss Josey!! ✨🏆✨
እንዴት የሚያምር ከተማ ነው! How amazing town that is!❤
Looking good Ms Josie. 🌞 Namibia sun is good for you.
Yes it does!
Very beautiful and picturesque town, but where were all the people? I was wondering if this was on a Sunday or holiday? Thanks for posting this, Josey.👍
You don't expect too many people in namimbia. The country have 2.5 million people
Afrikaans is the language. Which is derived from Dutch but a simpler version and also different in other ways like some of the words etc. Afrikaners are the people who speak Afrikaans. Grootfontein means big fountain in Afrikaans.
Its also close to Swedish, and other germanic languages. So some sentences i understand 70% and some like 10% probably depending on the malay influence
Thanks
My wife is Afrikaans and the language developed as Flemish and Scandinavian sailors working on Dutch ships traded and intermarried with the indigenous khoikhoi people who inhabit present day southern Namibia and southwestern South Africa.
Later on there was a strong influence from Malay and a smaller influence from the French Hugenots (Christians escaping persecution) in 1688.
That is why Afrikaans populations look anything from blond blue eyed to very dark.
According to government classifications in South Africa and Namibia approximately 60 percent of Afrikaans people are classified 'coloured'/mixed race and approximately 40 percent are classified as 'white'.
In reality they had the same ancestors.
The sky is blue the leaves are green its so amazing
Hi Josey
The town is so clean
I love it
Yeah white people know how to run a town instead of the blacks:)
You were suppose to go to Rehoboth, a town mainly for "Coloureds"
Namibia giving Texas vibe..a very developed country..watching from kenya 🇰🇪..i must give it a visit
True, and the roads in the towns are also very developed. Even in Sweden the roads can be shit, but these are mostly good
Beautiful town
Well Said. Country for all, and not for a specific group of people.
Mau God bless you
you keeps it real and this is how we the fans like it. u fly the streets of good ol' namibia to make ur presence known . this channels crowd is one helluva community at this point. cheers
Google maps shows me that there is multiple places to get food. Kind of surprised they said there wasn't. Maybe the area you were in?
I can’t wait to visit Namibia❤
Your welcome
Namibia looks Clean
Yes i7ts 2nd cleanest country in Africa
Groot is big in Afrikaans and fontein is fountain
Miss josie Groot in afrikaans means big or great 😅 but l loved Julians explanation.
I grew up in this town. Never been back there in over 25 years XD
Leka means "measure" in Amharic.
Now, where do you guys stay when you’re traveling like this?
Groot = Big and Fontein = Fountain,hope you get the drift
Very clean the town, and beautifull like miss josey
Thank you 🤗
Really Julian?....Did you say 'melons are nice, I wish I had two' hahaha. That was funny 😅😅😅.
Thanks for sharing this information with the world. I didn't know these folks were down there committing such harm to our people.😞
Hi Josey!
I'm enjoying your travels.
No offense but could you find other descriptive words to describe things other than the word CUTE! 😂
She likes that word cute , and I mean as all humans their those words that we like saying so that's her .😅 so cute miss josey
@@gonza3097 Noted. But as humans we shouldn't be limited in our vocabulary which has many wonderful descriptive words. Let us encourage our cute Josey to excel and not limit herself.
I will try 😂
Namibia - where you can walk middle of the road because no one is driving there 😂
I like their vibes.
Thank you ❤
@missjosey1148 Girl, I've been binging on your videos. Hello from Boston,Massachusetts.
Miss Josey, why is your channel not growing as much, in spite of your traveling effort? And views very low too? I watch you all the time. I like you and love your channel. Goodluck.
Good question!
You couldn't walk in the street most parts of America, this is wild. Namibia really doesn't have many people there like the stats suggest
Are you still in Namibia???
A question nobody asked or talk about...Why the ANC and SWAPO seperated Namibia from South Africa...?? There were no public desision coming from the people in South Africa and Namibia it was just a one way undemocratic unlawfull and Political desision....On the bases of what a New Boarder was created....?
Groot means big and fontein means a fountain.
Grootfontein is not an Afrikaans town. There is no exclusive white town in Namibia. White people are found all over Namibia. But of course most white people live in affluent suburbs just like anywhere in Southern Africa.
Well, there are some rather affluent suburbs all over South Africa that have plenty of people of all colours. Just for the record.
Why is it not many people on the street in that town?
Most Afrikaans native speakers in South Africa and Namibia are mixed race.
You pronounce it slmost like Gruuot but G turn it into X.Xruuot fountain.
Looking at this town, you would think you were some town in the US. Very clean.
Sorry US towns are dirty
@@lenardogorra613 US towns are not nearly as dirty as those considered dirty in Africa. I am being objective and honest here as an African.
@@so9487 your Ignorance is dangerous.. as if u been to Namibia. Foolish
Namibia as a country has the best roads in the whole of Africa ahead of South Africa and it has the best government but it has a bloody history, the Germans carried out a brutal genocide ever recorded in African history.
Nelson Asiimwe
Uganda
So true my grandmother lost her siblings and son in that atrocious genocide in Namibia. Their blood waters our independence.
I DIDN'T SEE TOO MANY PEOPLE IN THIS TOWN, WHERE THEY'RE AT?
Maybe at home
Of course there are restaurants.
I was born in the 50’s.
They're called Afrikaners, they are mostly from Dutch, German and French ancestry and Afrikaans is almost fully derived from Dutch with some words from other languages.
Much Deutsch aka "German" in original Afrikaans. Why do people always try to deny its true origens?
Pick & Pay is here go to the mall
This is not Tommy Sabbatical.
Yes he is not 😊
In that town, the leading cause of death is from boredom.
In Namibiia we dont ve towns for a specific trine, we. All leave together
Reminds me of the Amish (Ah-mish) people here in the States. They're all White, too. Research them. A similar sect lives in Julian's country, Canada.
Not exactly Times Square.
Groot meaning big fountain. Not as you are mentioning it, anyway not wrong perse , as not everyone speaks Afrikaans.
Groot = big or large
what for this video ?
I’m a Namibian, born and raised in Namibia 🇳🇦 . Please edit your title because it’s false. There is no whites town in Namibia. In South Africa they have all whites town (Orania . So go there and title it. Research a country before you start giving false information please fellow sister.
Anyway I will subscribe to your channel just because you visited my motherland.
Let’s do better next time.
There is white town everywhere my dear. It's an enclave of tribee
@@lenardogorra613 where is the white town in Namibia?
@@lenardogorra613As Native Namibians we are telling you there is no whites only town in Namibia...anywhere you go majority of people are blacks...
First, somebody shortened the word Deutschlander to Dutch, Second, it is my understanding no matter how you spell it, the word africa is of greek orgin spelled with a k not a c and seems to mean great horror. the word freak comes from it.
Can African go to Europe and claim their township,we Africans are so tolerant, hence our downfalls
Basically its a namibian orania
Guyana is one of the most sparsely populated countries in the world. Familiar with it?
While probably not true I like to think that Shaka and his Zulu people thought that the Deutschlander from Europe were a great horror.
Namibia and Botswana have very few people - less than 2.5 million in country bigger than France or Germany (firmer coloniser). I suspect Germany will do the "Zionist-on-Palestine" thing once again😢 Afrikaners (aparthied regime in South Africa) were given Namibia as a protectorate after WWII🤔 could the UN have an independent Africsn country
Buy julian a bra asap
This is a lie. There no towns in Namibia that are exclusively for any particular tribe. Why must you misrepresent for internet clout?
She hasn't seen the movies 😂
You are pronouncing it wrong. It’s Afrikaners. I think its important for you to do a bit of research on the history of most of these Southern African countries you visiting. Afrikaners are the Dutch or Germans who colonised Namibia 🇳🇦 and South Africa 🇿🇦. The first genocide in Africa was done by the Afrikaners and the first genocide was in Namibia whereby they killed approximately 500000 people especially the Herero people of Namibia 🇳🇦.
I was surprised this wasn’t mentioned
Thnx for the information
Incorrect, that genocide was committed by the Germans. Do some research.
The Herero Wars were a series of colonial wars between the "German" Empire and the Herero people of German South West Africa (present-day Namibia). They took place between 1904 and 1908.
The genocide was done by the Germans!
It amazes me about how white people can have entire town in Africa and live peacefully but African can’t even go to their country without being reminded that they don’t belong.
You are doing your viewers a DISSERVICE because you are misleading and MISINFORMING them.
It will serve you better to talk about your personal experience since you have not done your research about Namibia.
You Tube travelers should always make use of local tour guides so they can better inform the world about countries they are visiting.
Don’t taint the whole country of a few millions with misinformation, it’s very bad.
Afrikan, more like afrikan't. , they kan't seem to want to leave africa. Who cares about some colonizers living in kenya, good luck kenya
In Namibia there are no Afrikaans. The wites here are actually Germans. You ask them and you will see.
There are British, Germans and Boers/Afrikaaners speaking people in Namibia and there is a language taught Afrikaans in schools as well.
Misleading.
Can black Africans be allowed to establish such atrocities in EU. Something is wrong with governance in Africa that allows apartheid outpost in the motherland.
Black areas in Europe are dirty, gang-infested ghettos, white areas in Africa are clean, developed suburbs
That's the difference 😊
U should mind your own business, concentrate on your shthle country.
On God!
Stop crying 😂😂😂
Your information is misleading lies why didn't you got some one from the town we don't have whites only towns in Namibia 😮 you should go back and reshoot the crap really.
I think rewatch the video and listen carefully 😊
must get his facts str888 we dont come from the dutch we are the indigenous people of south africa and namibia
You clearly have no idea what the word indigenous means. Your either a descendent of the native Africans, European settlers, or of multiple ancestries(native African or foreign). Which one are you?
You are Dutch and that’s where you came from. There’s no white people who are originally from Africa. That’s distorted history you always say to justify your actions and occupation and colonising Namibia and South Africa 🇿🇦.
@@mticha9566 I think he's a coloured (mixed race). Nowadays they claim to be KhoiSan or indegenous.
Someone is clearly colonized in the mind.Those mzungus are no good for you ..smh!
Thanx dad 😂
@@missjosey1148 You will soon get your Knee-grow wake up call,that is if you even know what it means😴.
The scenery is fantastic. Everything good in Africa goes to non-indigenous Whites
There’s the obvious crime against humanity.
OK you can say that about South Africa and Namibia because they have more white people. . Now that is only about 5% of Africa. What about the other 95 % of Africa, there are very few or no whites there. Who has got all the good things there. What you need to do is create good things. Don't take good things and destroy it and then complain.
Nothing goes to Whites,it was created by them with Black labour and it is being maintained and protected by them that's it's so kept.Blacks are not forbidden but you have to live by the rules and standards,
When I grew up most towns in SA,even black suburbs were superb but after the perceived Independence of SA we did as we like and now all is trash
