It is a common practice in Namibia to hoist the flags of the countries represented by international diplomats when they visit the country. This gesture serves as a sign of respect and hospitality, showcasing the diplomatic relations between Namibia and the respective countries. The flags are typically displayed in prominent locations throughout the city, symbolizing the unity and cooperation between nations. This tradition highlights the importance placed on diplomacy and international relations in Namibia, and it serves as a visual representation of the country's commitment to fostering positive diplomatic ties with countries from around the world. We do it for all countries, African or not.
First impression is great👍🏾. Was also wondering whether it was a public holiday. The streets looked so empty but I guess that’s what makes the country special. It’s one of the country I can easily drive on those wide and nearly empty streets. Looking forward to more👍🏾👍🏾
In any country when u see a foreign flag hoisted along streets automatically u know its a state visit by a leader of such country. The flags are only removed when the visitor leaves. The Belgian King was here on state visit for 5 days.
It's not any country. It's only Namibia in Africa. I have never in my life seen or heard of this in any other African country. I can't even believe you are trying to justify such nonsense. England has a long history of engaging in this practice, as well as other European countries. So why the heck is an African country sustaining what is clearly a European culture, years after its so called independence from colonizers?
@@YT-xk5jl What are you whining about, there are so many things colonized countries have retained from their colonizers. Hosting a flag of a foreign nation shouldn't be such a big deal.
I must agree with Kish here. The Belgian King came to South Africa first but did not bother to do a state visit. He was here to visit white Afrikaaners. He was booed in the streets and told to get out of our country because of his blatant disrespect of our people and government. His body guards were beaten too. The level of white supremacy is astounding. After all these years they still do not see us as humans beings. I can't believe he was welcomed in Namibia when he clearly still supports only white people and has no regard for black and coloured people or our governments.
@Tt-iu4vk yet there are Africans flocking to Belgium. Believe it or not, Namibian exiles were hosted in Belgium during Apartheid. So because his ancestors did what they did, he must be punished for that?
Welcome to my Beautiful Country Namibia land of the brave .... since you were in south Sudan with Mr BMG, you hav been lost for a while,,,Welcome, i cant wait to visit Walvisbay, sea side
When he said, sell yourself, he meant, talk on camera & tell the people why they should buy the oranges that she is selling. That she should tell the people where she's selling the oranges so they can buy . That's what he meant. 💜
Namibia was Germany colony until 1915 when it became British colony after Germany was defeated in 1st World war. SA was British colony that time. So Britain gave mandate to British South Africa to oversee the administration of the territory of South West africa which was Namibia then. However South Africa exceeded the UN mandate and ended up treating the country as its own without reporting to the United nations. Thats when the United nations revoked SA mandate and ordered it to leave Namibia but it held on until internal liberation resistance started. Take note that German and Dutch names are very close at times even language. The streets in some areas of Windhoek especially Central business district are mostly German coz they founded the city and most towns in Namibia not South africa. South African Dutch descendants didn't change the street names when they took over in 1919 under UN mandate to administer territory. German is widely spoken by namibian Germans but afrikaans is the most widely spoken language by both white and blacks. Afrikaans is a like a linguafranca in Namibia.
People are still at work its 16h00 its a work day, office hours are from 08h00 to 17h00 thats picktime but out traffic cant be compared to Nairobi cos of our population
Im going to tell you, something that I was told. Just because a dog is born in a stable, that doesn't make it a horse. I was told this because I'm black and I live in England!
Hi Kish welcome to Namibia , safe journey to Windhoek. I hope you will enjoy bro ,all the best.l see you having nice conversation with a friendly driver.
I agree with you about the monuments. They must not be destroyed but be put into museums. Many Namibians were genocides and fought for their freedom. We cannot glorify colonialism but start celebrating the indigenous people and put up their culture and celebrate them, their languages and their history, pre and post colonialism as well as the nations aspirations. No matter which European country you go to, no matter how many Africans live their, they speak the European language and the Africans adapt to fit into the European culture.
Kish by bro what ah gwan thanks this blog Namibia 🇳🇦 is such a clean and beautiful country wow 🤩 Keep on pushing sir the shy is the limit 😮 stay safe One Love ❤️
In Namibia we preserve history for generations to see otherwise everything we have in africa is coloial from clothes, English language, shoes, watch, cars, money etc. We need to be honest in africa. Our number 1 enemy is bad governance leading to poverty not statues.
Those statues are a result of the legacy of YOUR oppression. Now those who survived that oppression, as in your parents, grand parents, great grand parents must see those statues and rehash their pain and trauma? How can you not understand this? This is why some of us preach for decolonization of Africa through decolonized education because colonization really did a number on many Africans. What a shame!
@@YT-xk5jlthe problem is you foreigners always complaining about what other people do in their countries..Namibia is so peaceful and no statues can take away our freedom. We learn history at school, what if we are keeping those things for a new generation to see want our ancestors went through
31:08 Government hoists the flag and official portrait of every visiting head of State in the main street. The Belgian flag was on display because the king of Belgian was on an official visit.
Yr B&B is in a residential area. All the area u were walking before CBD are residential areas. Middle, upper income and wealthy Residential areas are quite in Namibia coz people who stay there drive to and from. They have no reason to be on the street. It's not poor areas that have people walking all time. Even Nairobi is same. Go to Karen residential area etc I see no people on streets.
@5:44, it's not their home and it will never be their home. Europe is their home. And if you are so passionate about them Kish, you must take them back to Kenya
It’s their home wether you like it or not , is Namibians are peaceful & diverse in culture we don’t entertain that racism mentality of y’all Africans , if you don’t like white people then don’t come to Namibia at all simple , Namibia’s latest population stats is 3 million of which 900k are whites & increasing due to migration from Europe & South Africa , so they’re here to stay
I HAVE DONE EXTENSIVE RESEARCH ON THIS LAND AND I AM SURE IT IS THE LAND OF PROMISE THERE ARE ALOT OF BIBLICAL PLACES THAT ARE STILL THERE TODAY SUCH AS GIBEON, BEERSHEBA, AND BETHANIE
Wow good step,but kish whow shillings from yr kenya can't be used inside Uganda or Tanzania 😢😢 when all ar shillings sometimes i overthinking that money using is a scamme of politicians 😂😂😂
Statue of Nujoma in front of independence memorial meseum is holding the NAMIBIAN CONSTITUTION AS SUPREME LAW FOR ALL NAMIBIANS IN BURIAL OF THE UGLY HISTORY BEHIND HIM IN THE BUILDING. THATS what he is meaning. He is saying Namibia is now built on the values of equality, freedom and justice for all of its children in their diversity.
Afrikaans is not a foreign language. Afrikaans is a language that developed from Dutch. It's like Swahili from Arabic. Majority of namibians speak afrikaans. It's actually the mother tongue of many blacks dating back to 1650. City of windhoek has no time to spend money on translations only for tourists!
Afrikaans is NOT and will never be anything like Swahili. Swahili is at least 95% Bantu with a few borrowed words from Arabic. Meanwhile, Afrikaans is at least 90% Dutch. In short, while Swahili is clearly an African language that shares similarities with other Bantu African languages. Afrikaans is a European language that shares similarities with some other European languages. So who do you think you are fooling? Additionally, Afrikaans is not and will never be the mother tongue of African people. And it is not developed from Dutch, it is a sub language of Dutch. It's like saying Cape Verdean Criolu is developed from Portuguese. That is absurd. Cabo Verde Criolu is still Portuguese, just with some distinctions here and there.
The FirstLlaw in our Constitution is the law of national reconciliation. Means we chose to be different. When The Most High brought His people out of captivity Egypt, they came out in mixed multitude of whosoever believed! Here in Namibia we believe in Together and in unity we build for our future generations. We know our stance is different but we take it like that and welcome to Namibia ❤
Brooooo what are you even saying? 🤨🤦🏽♂️ you can’t be serious after all that the colonizers did to force native Africans to speak Afrikaans. Liberate your mind fam
@kish_myworld I don't think you understand the history of Afrikaans in Namibia. Afrikaans is a creole language that the slaves, and indigenous Khoi people created in the Cape Colony. The same indigenous people that were in the Cape extended as far as present day Windhoek. So Afrikaans was already spoken in what is now Namibia in the 18th century. In the 19th century it was the lingua franca of Southern and Central present day Namibia. Even the Germans couldn't force the German language in schools because the missionaries and traders were using Afrikaans. Saying Afrikaans was forced on the people is the same as English being forced in all former colonies and became official languages. In the Northern areas, Afrikaans is not so common. However the Southern and Central areas it is common due to various ethnic groups staying in one place.
South Africa was controlling Namibia until recently in 1990. You'll see similarities between SA and Namibia due to the Apartheid SA legacy. The feel and look of the country is similar to SA. A town like Walvis Bay was under SA rule until around 1993.
There’s no such a thing as “where Germans live” in Namibia , and just to correct you on something There’s no such thing as a German in Namibia , they’re Namibians just like me , they have to apply for a visa to enter Germany just like me ,,, if you want to know where Germans live then go to Germany , the whites here are Namibians even they don’t call themselves Germans & 90% of them have never even been to Europe

thanks for always following since then...
The young girl selling orange's asked him to buy from her ( support me) and he replied by telling her "Sell Yourself" that was uncalled for
Send money...
When he said, sell yourself, he meant, talk on camera & tell the people why they should buy the oranges that she is selling. That she should tell the people where she's selling the oranges so they can buy .
That's what he meant. 💜
He basically said advertise your products
Yes, but I'm not sure if the young lady knew what he meant .
The mentality is just different in this country, that's why rape is high
