Mumbai - A Tale of Contrasts: • Asia's Largest Slum in...
Namibia has the third highest levels of income inequality in the world. 6% of the population own 70% of the land and here, the wounds of German Colonisation run deep. Between 1904 -1908, the Germans established concentration camps where the indigenous Herero and Nama people were interned. Up to 80% of them died in what Germany later recognised as the first genocide of the 20th Century. While the descendants of these victims, like Karvita, live on illegal settlements in constant fear of eviction, the descendants of these colonists continue to own most of the land and have no problem justifying their inheritance.
Most of Namibia’s vast natural resources are owned or controlled by foreigners. The diamond industry is dominated by DeBeers and the ruling Swapo party, widely seen as corrupt, is propped up by its historic ally: China. The construction and uranium industries are controlled by the Chinese and documents leaked in 2021 revealed that North Korea was illegally subcontracted to build the country’s State House.
Most of the country is sparsely populated, enabling nature to flourish. It’s home to one to one of the greatest wildlife populations in the world, including the only free roaming black rhinos. But these animals are constantly threatened by Chinese mafia while global warming is increasing desertification, threatening indigenous communities.

This documentary was previously on our ENDEVR channel. It has been added to the FREE DOCUMENTARY CHANNEL because we think it is a better fit here.
It's always the white man's fault. These men would all be wearing dresses still instead of pants of it was not for the Whites. But I hear black men like to wear dresses, especially on tv.
Haben sie auch Quellen für diese Behauptungen ?
False. U looking for views. Am black Namibian and I attest that Yr claim is false and misleading. U copied and paste to mislead people. 1stly no one owns 80% of the land in Namibia. Namibia is 15% desert, 40% communal or non commercial land and 35% commercial agricultural land. Other 10% is state land. Thus majority of whites who are not Germana but Afrikaaners today own 28% of the 35% commercial agricultural land. It's incorrect to say 80% of Namibia's land is owned by whites. There is no such a thing.
@BoxHans your very evil creature
@mzerk9324 Thank you for educating the people. Almost everything on a screen is a lie, especially if it comes from a corporation
As a Namibian in Namibia watching this documentary, I don't know how I feel about this sad, whilst amazing story.
I guess we should talk about you relocating a bit
Yoh just came across the documentary and yoh I'm 💔 😢. As a Namibian myself, I did not understand the severity of how Germans continue to treat us.
Why do you allow this nonsense
At least you do not know how you feel because I feel infuriated, mad and sad from SA.
@@hilmanuule859 Be careful.
They are trying to get you to attack your farmers, so as to cause a famine.
As a Nigerian I must confess that Namibia is the most underrated country in the world, but in reality is the best country in the world
i am half swiss half nigerian and namibia is really interesting to go visit in the near future❤️
But we are poor my friend while those in government and foreigners remain rich
@@sindanonegongo1199 if only they knew.🙈
@@sindanonegongo1199 you are way better in comparison to most of African countries inclusive of some European countries, I do not speak out of internet observations but out of my traveling experience,
@@rui_josebonifasia5132 the fact that the economy is ran by a few minority raises suspicion
As an Indian feel disgusted when the local has to ask permission to a land which was taken from thier ancestors by paying nothing. This injustice will end in the near future. These germans owning thousands of acres till date is injustice to its core.
In India church and mosques own more land than majority hindus
Unbelievable
I really couldn't keep watching after that and the part where the farmer said Africa was dark without them
dont call them germans, its a disgrace for us, these are ppl that think they are bc some generations before were germans. the guy that makes Döner/Kebab in my town is more german than these guys. You actually need to live in germany and go through the bulshit we go to call yourself german.
The land issue is very sensitive if not delt with properly the situation will lead into escalation nd lives will be t stake
This channel is gold. Love learning facts from countries not widely covered by media
I don’t know how to feel about this documentary as a Namibian. I hate that the German always think Namibia was nothing b4 the colonialism. Blacks were here n we were living in harmony.
I've always been very interested in the German colonisation of Africa. A topic much less talked about.
Massive thanks 🙏
Don't also forget Tanganyika(Now Tanzania) in East Africa was once a German colony.
Research what they did in Tanganyika(Mainland Tanzania), Burundi and Rwanda. Atrocities of beyond imagination. When black people cry all over the World, this is the Example.
@@rubamann Basically the same as every other power did (those who had any power). It was warfare, plain and simple. Chinese don't have this nonsense guilty, they will deal with Africans accordingly.
Its no coincidence that most colonialist descendents in Namibia still have economic privileges. Most natives still embrace the colonial error curriculum, and 90% of the black population don't understand the full value of land. We have mines, vast land for agricultural activities etc, yet from primary school a child is not aware of these topics. From primary school children are taught how to recite bible verses and sing. In upper primary and junior secondary they introduce learners to subjects like Agriculture (as optional/non-promotional subjects). Then you'll find a learner with great symbols in science subjects forced to do a teaching course because they are poor and cannot afford to study science related subjects. The circle continues.
Those who claim to be "educated" do little to change the mindset of the ordinary people in their communities. We are currently a generation of relaxed citizens, who only blame colonialism for our economic misfortune but we fall to out point our weak reasoning.
The economic problem of Namibia will be solved by redesigning the curricula (both the school & null curricula). Change the curriculum, change the mindset of the people!!!
You won't get the land back by asking nicely!
Take necessary steps into your hands!
Agreed
They won't get it back no matter what
The farms will fail just like in South Africa then they have to ask them to come run them for them because they can’t do a whole lot on their own. The colonization lasted 30 years, and ended 75 years ago.
@@Anthonycapone8146 zimbabwe did, they will if they take action
@@Stolas1777 dont come back, we dont want you
Our politicians/government has to be blamed for poor living conditions while the country is having abundant natural resources. Foreigners are worthier and living in languish
Your government and Germany needs to be held accountable
Sure, you gonna do it? lol what a dumb comment.
@@adidas3s506 Namibian politicians are very corrupt.
Well thats foriegners bro why dont they
Dont blame them
There bloody giving Money and Doing good to your country
Your country is in Corruption and stealing killing Animals
This couldn't come at a better time, big thanks to this channel!
Namibians wake up and fight for your land
They did and the German Namibians won.
And then what? Germans contribute massively to the economy.
We love our COUNTRY, THESE YEAR IS ELECTIONS, The GERMAN PEOPLE ARE NOT ACTIVE IN THIS, THEY SHOULD HELP us.😥😥
@@user-yk4fe9xm1g Why should they help you? What's in it for them? You create racist policies and then expect them to help?
I HOPE FOR THE BEST Sir, not all of us is racist, we all should stand together to build up our Country.
I’m absolutely horrified that they couldn’t visit their own land without permission…
Let alone...... they must pay R500 entrance fee to see their ancestors graves.😒
As a Namibian, this part alone shattered my heart in a thousand pieces 💔 😢 😞
Even have to pay R500 to visit.
It's sad but he was clearly only visiting them for the cameras
Can you imagine if an African owned 20 percent of German land. One German individual got 60 acres of land in Nemabia
Well if the african had more powerful technology that allows them to overtake other groups then that would be a possibly. A reminder this happen when world followed the right of conquest, so basically the German rightfully owned that land.
the land is vert uninhabited, if there is a construct-ual problem then yes address it correctly. * however do not commit 'reverse racism' of any kind just because they are different skin color.
@@akiraotoishi5756but your kind never address anything correctly because of colour
@@Nene..93 my kind ma'am didnt adress anything correctly because of color? sorry for someone elses actions. and those people who own land did not oppress you by stealing land, it was other people. so now you want to oppress people by taking their property because it's about race at this point. when it could be correctly approached like i said above.
@@akiraotoishi5756they’ll do the same thing as in South Africa, forcefully take farms from whyte people, then very quickly the farms will fail. It’s a shame that they can’t seem to build anything on their own, and are still blaming some thing that ended 75 years ago, that only lasted 30 years.its a shame but Africans can’t get it together, they’re too tribal, uneducated and unable to build much on their own.
Guys even in south africa we are facing the same problem we need to unite africa and end this
Haaahaaaa, 13 tribes uniting, haaaaaaaahaaaa
Always watching from Georgetown Guyana south America 🇬🇾🇬🇾
Colonialism never ended in most sub-Saharan Africa. The only places where black people can access their resources are few and scattered.
When they can access resources, it will end up like South Africa. They cannot manage themselves, never could.
@@incremental_failureIn Zimbabwe it never ended up in the hands of ordinary folk, just politicians who can't even farm. Now we have our land but most of it is idle or one politicians owns 10 idle farms. Ridiculous.
@@incremental_failure so who was managing us before u colonized us Mr smart guy?? Huh
@@incremental_failure that doesn't give you any right to manage them
I'm Namibian
Love it here
The land of the brave 🇳🇦
Cowards
How is it the land of the brave when you're not fighting to get your land back? Join the Neff fight for the majority of the African population to be part of the economy and make your statement a reality.
Land of Brave?! I don’t think you are brave enough, sitting there for small percentage of european descendants of your country owned about 70% of your land while over 90% of the population who are true owners of the land possess only 30% and you are here calling yourself the land of bravery. Please do something to get your lands back before you come here to claim that title, unless you’re European descendant.
I'm in shock that the population is that small, some of the best minerals in Africa and their citizens are not living in luxury. They should be able to afford anything in the world with all those minerals. Be brave and take back your land.
@@mclesenn We will get it back
It's just a matter of time but we will
Small population, huge natural resources, lack of local expertise and technology, corruption leading to extreme poverty
Ignorant comment
I'm from South Africa, would like to visit Namibia 1 day, maybe start a new life in Namibia.
Hellos. Please come to my place and build free
Namibia is way safer than South Africa. You can enjoy a really good life here if you have good money. Namibia is a peaceful country.

Très intéressant, merci
Watching ths is so disheartening, th country is wealthy but poor at th same time😢. Namibia my motherland
the population is now over 3 million, not 2.5 million anymore
I´´m from Slovaki and when I´ll be enough of money I´ll visit Namibia beautiful and from african point of view is developped country
Its mad how these colonists assume the land was uncivilised before they arrived, delusional. This is not fair by any measure of human reason. Namibia is a beautiful country and a safe one. They need to put in place a more fair and appropriate compensation scheme and allow the indigenous people to have a fair portion of the wealth so Namibia continues to be as beautiful as ever.
Watching this documentary makes me more informed nd angry at the same time....
Like Wise
Love this channel
Thank you 🙏
The black Rangers dine outside while the whites inside the cafeteria...
I saw it as well. I was waiting for this comment
Why😂?
2 millions in namibia, atleast everyone must be a millionaire with such enormous underground wealth
Its 3.1 million now
this channel is belong to me why because I'm very addicted. Even at work i can't stay without yr document
I like this young man spirit 😅
Interesting. 💡👍🏻✨
Very informative documentary. It makes you appreciate the greed of humans
Indeed
The Germans sure do have a lot of blood on their hands.
Having to pay 500 Rand to visit the graves of their relatives is criminal, they made me sick to my stomach.
As a Native American here in the US, Umatilla tribe, I can understand how they feel.
The arrogance of some of the Germans is she still live there is sickening. They make all these excuses that don't wash. Great
Big game hunting is also another sickening comet disgraceful part of colonization.
Excellent documentary though.
I've watched this documentary last year
Namibia is still colonized
And it's beautiful. Namibia needs high intelligence governance from Germans so they don't become like South Sudan.
All of Southern Africa is colonized directly or indirectly through SA except for Zim
But we both know how it worked out for zim
😮💨😮💨😮💨😮💨😮💨😮💨😅

What is nimibains stopping from revolting, fight for freedom , you fight today ,live freely tomorrow
The first mistake namibian ancestors did is allowing the Germans to remain in their country until then i don't see them moving anywhere with anything. Even the offsprings of the colonizers don't see a problem at all with what their ancestors did how can one person own all that land, Namibia's population is too small to be facing all that you need to stand up for yourself don't expect an outsider to do that coz it's you who is suffering
Am Kenyan🇰🇪 and am truly in love with Namibia 🇳🇦 planing my visit soon
I wil welcome you
The Nambian problem is similar to most sub-Sharan Africa. Corruption!!!.
There is poor reinvestment of the country's resources by the government into key development sectors rather the government make the people refocus their attention to "external enemies". When they eventually take over the land from the white farmers, they will give it to their cronies who can't farm the land, then food prices raise, the country crumbs.... Zimbabwe 2.0
Those Namibians are not serious getting their lands backs, imagine if this is Nigeria, they will teach them a very good lessons. I could easily now understand why most people think they're arrogant.
Proud Namibian❤🇳🇦.....every country has its Flaws.
I love this channel for highlighting history and issues in countries and locations that we here in America are rarely introduced to both in primary and secondary educational institutions. I hadn’t realized Germany was an occupying force in Namibia… worse, I had no idea about their part in yet another genocide. Glad to see they recognize it now but damn…
britian, france, and other all also held concentration camps...post WW2
@@AL-lh2ht You may need to explain that to me as if I were 5 years old… where were these concentration camps and how many were systematically killed while captive?
Every country that had colonies had concentration camps and comitted at least a genocide... The Begians in the Kongo, the British in South Africa, the Spanish in the New World. They are all documented in Wikipedia
Mr Hung, Mr Hang, Mr Hing😂😂😂😂😂
We went to Cafe Anton last year and almoat had a stroke since they have a perfect mural of our small home town Kleve there :)
Please make more content like this.
Why? To carry on a false narrative? This is not even accurate.
Thank you so much to see Eff all over the Africa
Hit like if you want to see our world in peace.❤❤❤
What a stunningly beautiful country, sad to hear of its violent past, I hope the people can work together to make abetter future for all. Disappointing the land owner wanted to charge the folk visiting graves, that wont help heal wounds.
WE HOPE IN THIS ELECTIONS, WIĹL BE COME A CHANGE FOR NAMIBIA 🇳🇦
The country is still in its infancy, y'all are lucky to be here. Things don't happen overnight. Namibia has one of the best political structures in africa. Everything will fall into place,stop complaining about poverty and start businesses
infancy? in terms of what? the land and the people have always existed, millions of years and they did not need to be colonised. Dont call someone's ancestral land "infant"
@@AliAsadMo In terms of politics or modernization as a whole. I live there, that's why I'm saying what I'm saying. I'm not talking about land. That's a story on it's own...
@@Cassini-do8fp then it is a bit shameful for you to judge Namibia ignorantly. What is politics? You think the original ancestry did not have politics? or you are one of those who think our African systems were primitive and dark? We had politics that worked very well and was never infant. Africa was modern even before the Europeans introduced their style of doing things. You clearly have been white washed and that is why you judge modernisation by white man standards.
I haven't been white washed. Most people locally which i know share the same opinion. In a few years you'll see what I actually mean.
Politics from before colonization was good and bad at the same time...
Can you make video about australia please ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
This makes my blood boil I can't continue watching
Same. I started crying halfway. Africans need to wake up. We can't keep living under neocolonialism.
This was hard to watch, made me full of rage and my blood boil also.
Haha. Way more African in Europe. Just pray European bloods don't boil and hush your mouth
More documentaries please
we have a whole library full of documentaries!
We live in a society where every single thing is monetised 💔. Quite sad
Its weird how numibia seems like the only good safe place in southern africa. Other than the rich areas of Cape Town I would never want to live anywhere in southern africa.
You forget Botswana. That is probably the most OK country on the whole continent.
@@brahand Depends what you're in for. Some of Rwanda ain't bad either, it's just in the news for all the wrong reasons.
Well no one wants you here either
@brahand true that, thats why most of my people here in Botswana rarely migrate permanently. We love freedom, peace and authenticity of our country, we may still be behind in modern infrastructure but we love this desert country.
the issue of land reform in southern africa is unavoidable it can only be delayed it is a revolution it started with zimbabwe its now in south africa then to namibia and lastly zambia
The land in zambia is owned by the government not white people
Thats why they sanctioned zimbabwe to discourage other countries
No sweetie, sadly you're wrong 🤭Namibia is capitalist beyond other African states. We are stable only because of the wealthy investment holding it together. Take away the wealth and you get Zimbabwe. Pick your poison.
but im sure in 34 years you have never given him even one cow
Having grown up in Namibia, the diamond mine is owned 50-50 between DeBeers and the Namibian government (NamDeb). DeBeers is 80% of the Namibian economy. This means the people are benefitting from mining, assuming the money is distributed accurately.
At some point any country with natural resources either grow up or others will fill the void!
👌👌👌👍👍👍
this dude acting like always visiting the grave at the farm but he cant even enter without appointment..... so, he never go there before this
your statement makes no sense.
Makes plenty of sense.
During the making of the documentary he just happened to be bold enough to attempt to visit the "grave"
How old could this story be?
Education is important my african brothers, be educated and fight for your right. Love from India.
Wow😮
As a Swiss longterm female traveller with a NAM registered car, I also got deeper knowledge abou this country. Least populated country not beeing able to feed their people because of corruption, selling out their country to foreigners. But also of different issues between the ethnical groups.
This is a repost. Why Free Documentary?
Are ENDEVER and Free documentary channel run by same people?
yes
This German guy is so arrogant! Dark Africa? First he said Namibia had no name! Smh … he sense of entitlement these guys have is nauseating to say the least. I don’t wanna imagine what he says off camera 😮
Sadly you run into this problem alot, by the time a group of people are in a position to stand up and say say hey this is messed up, its already been several generations. Do you punish someone for what someone else decades ago did? Or do you tell the people who had their ancestors land stolen by force to forgrt about it?
Simple, if your benefitting from ill gotten wealth you have to give it back
@@user-sh3tr8cm1v so your great great great grandad sold a family heirloom to make it to another country where he got wealthy and its your job to pay back the family you never even knew about found you and is still holding a grudge?
As a black Namibian many people don't know the true History of this country,but some of us come from Shaman bloodline that has been here for a long time that dates back to Osiris Odin Allah Yahuah Enki he ruled this Land and South Africa,The German people were looking for the oldest people of this world because they wanted to connect to Odin and when they met the San thats when they found out everything and Germans went to Antarctica from the knowledge given by San Shamans and met Odin and Odin gave Germans the order to protect the land and Khoisan people,Germans never colonised Namibia it was under protection of Germany,so other groups entered the land and that cost Germans to react in fighting outsiders,Namibia was called South west Africa and already had a National leader,and when Germans lost the war against British empire Belgium France Portuguese in Namibia,British empire colonize Namibia and started on a kill off spring for 40 years of indigenous Khoisan people,they put it in order for them to hunt any Khoisan people they can find,and I wonder why they don't talk about...if only the world knew everything.
Yes@@jasonvdw9082
@@user-sh3tr8cm1vsounds very easy, no body has to give anything back but there should be a compromise, it's the ancestors who suffered and not the current generation
They have to leave Africa period..
😂If white people must leave so must Islam leave the country because where Islam is destruction follows
And African in Europe?
Economic revolution will happen in Namibia and South Africa. leaders of these countries must be intentional about Affirmative Action and Black Empowerment. Our education should also be about our economical needs and growth.
Highly unlikely for South Africa, the corruption runs too deep.
That tells me that you're inadequate as a person to compete. Affirmative actions is designed to put incompetent people into power. AA has failed in western countries, lol, try it in Africa now.
Keep on dreaming how many African let me say South African you know who are involved in farming? Small number in mining city or town planning. Only economic freedom for leaders not for common person like me.
The fact that the German's are just all over its annoying.
Cleanest place on earth
Lol no
Very clean
What!!
My Namibia to the world 🎉🎉🎉🎉
This Documentary is Another reason to vote for a new government
Look at his pants he is excentric , i dont know what to make of that statement
A must watch for the youth...definitely know who not to vote for in November!
Amushelelo ✊🏾
Imagine charging people R500 to visit graves, how barbaric.
Damn they have a China Town and German Town in Namibia?
AND THEY WILL NOT BE ACTIVE IN THE ELECTIONS THIS YEAR, VERY AN FEAR 😱
How are Africans in Europe?
so sad😪
Sad reality
the anti-poaching part:, why is it that the white people and the black guys are separated during meal time? Why is the food of the blacks looking less appealing? This has just shown me that the segregation between white and black will never end because this is nonsense, it’s not ok because you just highlighted that slavery is normal in Namibia. Makes me wonder?
Atleast they have someone fighting for their life
I watched this documentary somewhere
And how come the same team wearing the same uniform has to eat seperately..? Some are on the table and some are jus squatting eating behind a building. 38:25
This is what we call "carrying the water in a basket"...they should all be eating at the table or all should be squatting outside!...and the salaries should be equal
"Owning land doesn't make you rich. Managing it properly does."
What a numpty. Doesn't realise you can't successfully manage land if you haven't got any left because it's been stolen.
I'm Zimbabwean so I know how this can go. I say to the white landowners, don't have blinkers and be ignorant. Self regulate, limit yourselves to a manageable sized land and give the rest back to the government for redistribution and teach new resettled how to utilise it then peacefully co-exist with them.
Having land does not make you rich
So true
says a guy who has massive tracks of stolen land with a mini lake inside to rear thousands of cattle using cheap black labour
it does
@@maxnatorIf you're intelligent enough to do something with it
16:47 he just said Namibians should appreciate colonization, wow
you make me feel like throwing up
This made me angry and i am not from Numibia.
So many people killed by the Germans and they lost land where germans are working on.
Have to pay money to get to a part of a land.
The Germans killed so many people around the world and i know now is not then but when i hear a story like this i get angry and feel sad for them. Its there land but foreigners are living there having a good life. That's hard to see.
Hope it will stay peaceful there cause .....
