    Oh my Heavenly Father 😳 14 years in Europe & things has changed drastically a lot in my hometown Swakopmund... I'm in tears of pride & nostalgia. That's where I grew up & completed my school. And I'm very proud that they are expanding. This is a wonderful video. Greetings from Austria

    More needs to be done to promote this place. I would surely visit it. I came across it through a music video by Nasty C. If only African cities knew how lucrative is tourism. Countries like Netherlands and Sweden turn away tourists in their countries now because they are full but Africa seems to lag behind in attracting tourists that will spend. Cape Town gets a fair share of tourists but Durban (Ballito, Umhlanga, Manzimtoti and the rest of KZN - Scotsburg, Margate, Drakensburg etc have a huge potential and they are unknown to international tourists.

    Was there in 1979...(loved it) on the way back from Etosha... came to the conclusion that Namibia & Cape Town were the best places in Africa... but on viewing Johnny Clegg's DVD - Set of 5 vids ....
    "South Africa : A Country Imagined" definitely had a re-think...
    Then in 2000/2001 stayed in East London... another pristine "best-kept-secret".... swam in Gonubie River with Otters not far away from us... rolled with a white lion... Africa is truly magnificent!!! My swiss friend said he understood why lots of South Africans don't need to travel overseas as they've got it all here on their doorstep...

      Judging by her name and profile picture, I think it is safe to guess that she is either black or coloured, in which case your point holds no ground.
      On the case of such point that is completely untrue - the territory comprising Namibia was settled and organised by German colonists whether you like it or not, the boundaries were designated by Germans, the culture and nomenclature largely owes to the countries ex-German heritage and the enormity of Protestantism brought over by such colonists can not be denied. Regardless of how you see such colonists, you cannot deny that anyone of any colour has the right to live in such a land (though of course one could argue of priority in favour of Herero, Khoisan etc.)
      What you propose is no different to suggesting that Turks should all return to Anatolia and give Thrace back to the Hellenic Republic (as such land was invaded and numerous inhabitants borderline enslaved under the Devshirme system), never mind the Armenian genocide. Granted I'm aware that it's quite a low blow to speak of such - though you can see the point nonetheless.
      Last but not least, it is "Africa", which Turkey (under the Ottoman Empire) also colonized (see Ottoman Tripolitania), should ethnic Turks still remaining in Libya be forcefully evicted based on their race, regardless of their cultural heritage and racial relations with other Arabs? If not, then surely it should be no different for Namibians of coloured/European background.

Please visit Namibia to agree. 98% of white pipo u see are not tourists. Infact much of infrastructure was built by them and of course they continue to invest where they stay . 50% of the population of swakopmund are namibian Germans en namibian boers.
