Nama cultural Festival 2024 Full Video | tasting Donkey meat /All activities Highlights Namibia

#khai#!noa
Nama (in older sources also called Namaqua) are an African ethnic group of South Africa, Namibia and Botswana. They traditionally speak the Nama language of the Khoe-Kwadi language family, although many Nama also speak Afrikaans. The Nama People (or Nama-Khoe people) are the largest group of the Khoikhoi people, most of whom have disappeared as a group, except for the Namas. Many of the Nama clans live in Central Namibia and the other smaller groups live in Namaqualand, which today straddles the Namibian border with South Africa.
Nama, any member of a people of southern Namibia who constitute by far the largest Khoekhoe ethnic group, perhaps larger than all the others combined. They represent about one-eighth of the population of Namibia, and there are smaller groups in South Africa and Botswana. Their total population is about 230,000. They speak a Khoisan language notable for its great number of click sounds (click here for an audio clip of the Nama language). The Nama were formerly reasonably prosperous sheep or cattle pastoralists, but intertribal warfare and nearly continuous fighting with the Herero and the Germans from the 19th to the early 20th century decimated their numbers. Some Nama still graze sheep, cattle, or goats where the groundwater of their arid countryside is not too highly mineralized for their stock to drink; many more are migrant labourers on nearby farms herding sheep, tending gardens, or working in homes.

Hi! Never ate donkey meat before. Was it cooked just because Nama festival or it possible to buy in local restaurants? What about crocodile meat in Namibia?

[@upandawaywithsheni1900]

Hello, it’s their traditional food but you will never find it in a restaurant. Crocodile I didn’t eat it before plus we don’t have it in restaurants. But I think the side of Namibia where we have rivers perhaps locals eat.

[@kostiantyndesiatov9161]

@@upandawaywithsheni1900 Yes. You are right.When we stayed in Zambia crocodile meat was available to buy in crocodile farms. It was not expensive. Even cheaper than beef in Shoprite.
I know few recipes how to marinade and braai the meat very tasty😀

[@upandawaywithsheni1900]

@@kostiantyndesiatov9161 that was great 😁.I want to taste it. So you can only braai or also cook in the pot?

[@kostiantyndesiatov9161]

@@upandawaywithsheni1900 After the braai you may put the meat to the pot and add the marinade to cook few minutes. The secret is in the marinade😀😀😀

[@upandawaywithsheni1900]

@@kostiantyndesiatov9161 okay. Now I understand the trick.I wasn’t sure if I should taste it one day and your words convinced me that it seems to be scrumptious. Now I feel ready to eat it.
