It is really peacefull.
I hate to be negative. But, Namibia has a very painful history like the U.S. Many Namibians were tortured and murdered. It is still colonized by Germany. It has come a long way though, considering.
@@ms.yvonnem4945 Yeah sadly, but I must correct you. We aren't still colonized by Germany or any other country. We gained our Independence from South Africa in 1990.
@@ndinaleena3082 Its not politically colonized anymore. Its economically colonized by Germany. It's well documented, they control major industries and own majority of the land.
@@ms.yvonnem4945 Yes this I agree with. I was under the impression you meant politically as well. Even though Namibias have the political power, they really do not have easy or affordable access to land and stuff. Thank you. :)
We need to re-imagine new land laws to acomodate natives, to have access to fertile land that was never bought and stop Europeans demanding money for land that was stolen from Black Africans.
Correct
Make sure “colonized land” cannot be inherited from the current European “owner”. It cannot be sold but leased during the lifetime of the European “owner”. When the European dies, the legal ownership of the land reverts to the state, or the clan/tribe that can be shown to have owned it before the colonization theft.
Black should consider the natives
@@nextbounce1724 It's called segregation... again... come on...

The Namibian government need to retake African lands back from the colonizers. Why on earth should blacks buy their lands from Europeans who stole it in the first place. Namibians wake up please. What a shame.

Correction : Commercial land constitute about 45% of total land surface of namibia. Whites own about 30 - 35% of commercial land in Namibia. They don't own most land. We must distinguish between communal land and commercial land. The idea is ultimately to have blacks own half of the 45% agricultural land.
They own too much!
Your interpretation of the math,sucks.smh You see NO ISSUES with 30%of 45% of foreign land ownership?
Pitiful
Namibian economy is heavily dominated by South African companies
They literally fought for independence from South Africa and won it in 1990. They are still tied together in more ways than one today.
I realized that when I visited my brother, they hardly hardly have their own companies since almost everything is imported from South Africa.
And those companies are for the Whites not really ‘south African’

Private property is a foreign concept that is conflicting with the African ways.
Normally not any land should be sold to outsiders.
If such laws were enforced how do you think AA would acquire land?
The land, European did not buy these lands. There was a genocide by Germany in Namibia.
@@antony6799 Outsiders are foreigners not formerly enslaved people who have African ancestry. Foreigners can not own property in Asia. If Africans want to return to the traditional way that would be fine. If 'it stops the exploiter from getting the land.

Like in South Africa Europeans own more land. That's has to change. One way or another. Land was stolen.
Oh my God hearing all these lands issues in southern part of Africa continent Ghana is really really blessed and is heaven
Yes Ghana is blessed, they just need serious development that’s all.
@Ama Lessi Ghana isn't blessed by mistake. A delegation took the initiative to go to London in the 1800s to prevent Queen Victoria from claiming all the land in the Gold Coast as her private property.

Very sad to hear this from a brother many land are owned by Europeans in Namibia very sad as an African to hear this
Yes, the colonizers still own all the fertile land in Namibia but the ppl and government are too afraid to truly fight for independence but they still continue to complain about unemployment.
We never learn.. I live in America and we continuously pay taxes on land... Land should be leased and not sold to foreigners....Ever.smh

Very good ambassador he is...
Thank you JK.
The name Windhoek is Dutch not German.
It's two words joined together.
Wind =wind and Hoek = corner
So it means something like , the corner where the wind comes from.
In nearby south Africa the Dutch language was very present ,...apartheid...,yep another Dutch word.
Afrikaans, its most common language in Namibia...
Namibian son is good looking people. Interesting. X
Brilliant young man but that land issue cannot comprehend. “Plenty of land”, owned by who?
Around 25% is owned by state this includes national parks, and townland. 35% is communal land and the rest is commercial farmland which is mostly owned by whites and now more and more blacks that well-connected.
He is whitewaahed
@@M_KK commercial land in total is about 40%. Whites up to today own about slightly above 30% of commercial land. Infact when people say whites own most land in Namibia, they wrongly believe so. However, its only 80% of total commercial land of 45% of entire surface area of Namibia. Of course more land redistribution by state needed as currently land redistribution only benefited about 5-7% since independence.
@@mzerk9324 I think the break down of figures still hasn't taken away from the fact that whites still own most of the land, because commercial land is the only type of land available for ownership, or is it not?
@@carmennicholson2867 How is he whitewashed? Did he not invite African Americans to come over to his land and enjoy the fruits of his country. But no, you'd rather sit behind a pc and complain about the whites and Chinese in Africa. The only thing stopping you from owning the land in Namibia is the fact that you won't go to Africa.
“…their eyes are not opened to see opportunities…”
All african countries took their land back and get the rid of mzungu. Even french africa.
Namibia and south africa slept on it.
Zimbabwe nailed it at the finish line.
Land without conpensation is the new hashtag.
We better rise the movement for blacks in these countries.
Mzungu can't own all the southern part of our continent and we can't let this go through
Exactly. Chinese for China europeans for Europe. Indians for India….and so on. BUT AFRICANS CANT HAVE THERE OWN. EVERY ONE ELSE FIND A WAY TO HAVE A PART. BUT ARE NOT WILLING TO HELP THE PEOPLE OR GIVE OPPORTUNITIES TO INVEST WITH THEM. THEY SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO DO ANYTHING.WITHOUT THE PEOPLE BEING A PART.
Zimbabwe was the only southern African country that took the land back from the colonialist and look how the west sanctioned it. The western media always talks about how Mugabe was ‘racist’ against white people but fails to talk about the Lancaster agreement where Tony Blair , PM of Britain, promised to compensate the white farmers during the land reforms. When Blair did not fulfill the agreement then Mugabe took the land back forcefully.
@Mc Scrabble Thank you Fam. . Mzungu still own land in Africa after the genocides in Namibia and in The Congo. The world is interested only in the German genocide. Africa is paradise for mzungu. They don't want AA especially to connect with Africa. That is their nightmare.
But then most of those are not stable and went straight into making civil war. Sometimes it is best to learn gradually from your "enemy", while you are already in control.
Before telling us that Namibia and South africa are asleep because we did not kick out whites in these countries you should do your research on where did the whites kicked out of Zimbabwe go?...
They were given land in Zambia,Mozambique and as far as Nigeria they all gave these farmers land. You can check that out yourself. Unfortunately now Zimbabwe is giving back that land and compensation to those farmers and they try to have them back.
very nice interview 🇳🇦🇳🇦🇳🇦
I think he did not like to hear that people of all ethnicity live in harmony together in Namibia
blacks ok,
whites only have nothing to complain currently.
these mzungu own everything in the southern part of our continent.
there can't be harmony in this case.
khudos to my people in zimbabwe, my favorite country in southern africa.
only reason they live in "harmony" is that the Native population is ok with owning nothing! They don't mind having their Mobility Managed.
@@MAdams-ey4if agree with it.

History is very important, we should not live in the past,
We néed our land back
1st genocide ever to take place in the world coined the Nama-Herero Genocide by Germans happened in Namibia, (then South West Africa) - even before the Jewish Genocide...same german soldiers made it back and orchestrated the Jewish genocide.. meaning they practised on our ancestors... so that is deeply ingrained in our history and our story especially when it comes to land re-distribution. However we are a young democracy and we are building our country together for all tribes, personalities and skin colour to prosper and contribute to its prosperity. At the end of the day we are one!

This was upsetting to hear. Namibia government should raise taxes for the wazungu farms to force them to downsize. Eminent domain doesn't work in this place? After independence, Tanzanian government nationalized/confiscated all the land, buildings and factories owned by wazungu, Indians and Arabs. KIDDOS to mwalimu Nyerere

Namibian citizens are suffering because of land that has been stolen by Germans and white south African and now they are expected to pay lots of money for land that belongs to them we are lucky in Botswana we don't have to deal with this BS even our commercial land is leased not sold no wonder my herero brothers and sisters refused to move back to Namibia because they atleast own land in Botswana, Namibia government should wake up do something about this situation.
@@melaninbotswana2474 information: Government has been buying land since independence for resettlement of landless people. BUYING OF FARMS BY GOVERNMENT IS SOLELY FOR RESETTLEMENT OF LANDLESS PEOPLE . HOWEVER, IF I WANT TO BUY A COMMERCIAL FARM I CAN BUY IF I HAVE MONEY. WHY SHUD I GO THRU GOVERNMENT. NOT ALL NAMIBIANS ARE LANDLESS NO. INFACT ABOUT 1.8 million of the 2.5million Namibians are not landless according to my own assessment. Majority of Africans who constitute about 70% of the namibian population are from Northern communal areas in North & North East. So to say most namibian s are landless is False to the core. Landless is the 20% of the population who actually lost land during colonialism. And this 20% is geographically found in Western, central & southern regions.
@@mzerk9324 who owns the best, most productive land though? The colonizers.
Look man, Namibia is probably the most peaceful country in Africa. There's, not a lot of hate going around which is something we need to hang on to because we see the unrest which is happening in our neighboring countries and we need to ask ourselves if we want the same for our country because some of these comments are hateful and instigative towards white people. Yes, there is a lot of whites that own vast lands but the ones that contribute to our economy need our backing. The same can be said about black farmers. Let's unite and not divide, especially, if that divides us based on skin color.
I believe that it was the right move not to dispossess whites after independence ,we had a small population of inexperienced and mostly uneducated citizens and we gain nothing but experience,now is time to get what's ours back with the brain since we are too addicted to peace✊🏿✊🏿

The black government in Namibia needs to man up and take the land back that was stolen from the native blacks. Willing buyer, willing seller is unworkable and nonsensical. What needs to happen is appropriation without compensation. But the black leaders are way too timid to take the land from the illegal Mzungu settlers and give it back to their own black people. It's unacceptable that a few mzungus own more land than the natives. Blacks cannot own more land than the Mzungus in Europe. So why should the Mzungus be owning more land than the natives in Africa? Wake up!
My brother this must be approached with wisdom. Preparation must be made as there will certainly be consequences.

No Windhoek is not a German name. While "Wind" could be German, which obviously means wind, in English, "hoek" is however dutch, which stands for corner. All in one it would mean a windy corner.

Windhoek is not a German (or white) name. The area is named after the Winterhoek Mountains, which is where the Oorlms (coloured people who later assimilated into the Nama tribe) trekked from 250 years ago. Also, white Namibians don't consider themselves to be European. If Namibia is to become a rich country, they should invest in human capital (education, and professional training). Farming accounts for only, 7% of GDP in the formal economy (3% for South Africa), and it's even less in most developed countries. Namibia has huge potential, with stable institutions, and civil liberties, however on the ease of doing business rankings it lags way behind, not only developed countries, but also countries that are natural to compare Namibia to. Namibia is within upper middle income countries ranked 34th out of 55, and 104th out of 190 in the global ranking. The process of registering a business, and getting building permits is particularly cumbersome. Besides that, poor and rural areas don't have access to finance and electricity.

@@theonly6359 this is actually a new law and it's part of the land reform programme. The government wants those that were dispossessed of the land to benefit first. It is already painful as it is, so it would not be fair for those that are waiting to be given land seeing people from outside being given preferential treatment.
And just a correction, whites don't own 70% of land, commercial farmland is only around 45% so whites own a large chunk of that percentage.
And yes, we do have a land redistribution programme. So far it has not been successful. Firstly, some of the people that got land do not have the necessary skills to run commercial farms, so these farms are lying idle. Secondly, some of the beneficiaries of this are the well-connected people who come from communities that did not lose any land. So you can imagine how some people from the communities that lost their ancestral land feel.
@@theonly6359 I guess one option is to enter into partnership with a local if you want agricultural land. And also note 90% of commercial farmland is only suitable for livestock farming. There's more arable land in the communal areas especially near the Kavango and Zambezi rivers.

Hi, I have been researching African countries to move to from the states and Namibia was on my list as I am interested in cities with cooler climates on the coast, so I have watched videos for Swakopmund, Namibia and videos say the Caucasians run Swakopmund and are racist to the locals. One video, I watched a Black tourist went to a restaurant in Swakopmund and they were given looks by the Caucasians like you don't belong in here. So when he say that he loves Namibia because they all get along with foreigners, maybe that's in Windhoek I am not so sure about Swakopmund.
Hi I am black woman from Swakopmund, grew up very poor but I work myself up and currently studying law. Don't let one video stop you to experience Africa and Swakopmund. Every country has issues, that's just one of many. We are peaceful lovely country and ja at times very quiet so some people also doesn't like the quiet cities or towns. Experience every bit of the world where ever you go. All the best.
@@smilesandshines5287 Hi and Thank You for responding but Please understand that after all the racism we experience in the states, I don't want to leave the Divided states and move home to the Motherland and experience racism in Africa. I need to hear from the locals that Swakopmund is different from the Divided states and that I will not deal with racism in Swakopmund on a large scale like in the work place, neighbors etc. One major company that I worked 9 years for in the states that is a global company, I was the only African American in the entire department while there were like 15 or more Caucasians in the department and the
supervisors were racist. This happened in 3 different departments for 9 years. They make sure they have 1 African American in each department just so they can say the company is culturally diverse.. LIES.. We are not paid the same as other races although we have the same education and experience. I don't want to leave the states and experience this in the motherland. It would be sad to move that far to have the same experience. Neighbors don't speak and the rent is so high to keep African Americans out of certain neighborhoods in 2021. So if the Caucasians are racist in Swakopmund, no thank you, but Thanks for responding 🌍🙂🌍

@@antony6799 Totally agree. :-)
But then most of those are not stable and went straight into making civil war. Sometimes it is best to learn gradually from your "enemy", while you are already in control. The evidence we have in Namibia, most of our black people who have been settle at commercial farms, we have seen those farms degrading because most of our black people, still have not had the proper education on farming. it is exactly this, that makes a lot of other African countries degrading. Namibian is only 35 years old as an independent state but we are doing so much better than many countries, that have gained their independence in the 1960's. Of cause, we have those white racist people who do not want to share the land but that should be the focus of correction, instead of concentrating on getting rid of white people in totality. We should not depend on them but there is still too much, we have to learn from them. This world and its system are not built on African values but those of the white man. To outsmart them, we need to learn how they think and plan. See we have so many graduates just seating in the street, solely wanting the government to provide them with jobs, instead of being innovative themselves. As the young gentleman said, there are plenty of opportunities here and it is true. On a daily, we do see foreigners from all over the world coming to our country. It does not take them long, to see opportunities that Namibians do not see, to start up a business. We have seen even Zimbabweans, who came here and started selling airtime or brooms etc, in the streets. Today some of them have become Employers. We lack innovation and creativity and the vision to see opportunities. This young man is a great future to the country. Any person, who can do by himself, instead of just seating home complaining, is a great asset to a country.
