    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.
    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.

      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.

Africans didn't exactly keep record of things because they did not have any written language and therefore no records of their history nor records of lands, territories or where the borders of one land began and the other ended, only perhaps by landmarks and tribal designations of land but even then, as you can see, when there is only 1 person per 3KM in the 2020s...how few people must there have been in say 1900? This land was and still largely is uninhabited and therefore it would have been very odd indeed if any African even considered giving a name to the land other than the land that they directly inhabited and could travel to. Africans also didn't use horses or camels so traveling would not happen very often. There aren't really any nomadic sub Saharan African tribes as far as I'm aware either and so traveling long distances would only be something you would do when you planned a permanent or semi-permanent move/immigration. Thus, yes, seeing as Germans and other Europeans brought cartographers, or map makers with them, it's likely that Germans saw parts of the land that Africans likely never saw because it would be too costly or dangerous to travel without cause or reason since their lives were so absolutely directly tied to the land around them and what sustenance they could find there.

      Perhaps the documentary was created this way for watchers to come to this conclusion (...24/7 for "miserable pay"). Sadly, it's severely underfunded and French rangers are deployed there (reservists with jobs? ex. beekeeper). Wish rangers from Nambia were asked why they chose to protect rhinos rather than hunt them. Another documentary did: honoring what is theirs, protecting a natural resource that could pave the way to a nature reserve and economic growth in tourism. Hope this documentary increases investment into these programs.

    Its no coincidence that most colonialist descendents in Namibia still have economic privileges. Most natives still embrace the colonial erra 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 fail to point out 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!!!

Also building safely making bricks instead of management courses out the wazoo to manage people you need people who can do the work and the successful ones wil manage themselves just fine! You missed the oil we found it should be processed here in Namibia instead it will be shipped off to SA Europe or US or UAE to be made into petrol and diesel that we en up buying back or China. We can change it I hop you registered to vote and to vote for change instead of the past 32 years of promises and self enrichment of the top Party members and their families.

    Land reform is a great idea, if you want to repeat what happened in Zimbabwe. If land reform without compensation is introduced in a governmental capacity, you would see even more people starving within that same year and a economical collapse within the next year. Land reform will not solve the countries poverty issue nor any other important dilemma. The Namibian government had more than 30 years almost 2 generations to solve any number of problems regarding the income gap or any other issue.
    Why does the Namibian government not invest in local education or in improving living conditions for rural communities? In 34 years we have seen an increase in the income gap, a decline in educational standards. The most notable aspect which I have noticed in Africa, is that for a culture or a specific race to improve they must devalue another.
    People's decisions are based on their view of the world, their life experiences and their education. Note that if each of those aspects of a persons life is neglected, they will make poor decisions. The government does not invest in the people, they know if they properly educate and improve the lives of the people, the people will vote them out of office.

      I agree with your concerns about the potential consequences of land reform without compensation. It is crucial for the government to carefully consider the implications and ensure that it does not lead to further economic hardships and social instability. Investing in local education and improving living conditions for rural communities are indeed essential steps towards addressing the income gap and other critical issues. Neglecting these aspects can result in poor decision-making and hinder the overall progress of the country. It is important for the government to prioritize the well-being of its people and work towards sustainable solutions that benefit all.

The government's failure to invest in local education is a significant concern that needs to be addressed urgently. A well-functioning education system is crucial for the overall development of a nation and the empowerment of its citizens. By neglecting education, the government is not only limiting opportunities for individuals but also hindering the country's potential for growth and prosperity.

      Africans need to take their land back. If Germans own that much of the land, then land reform must occur. Germans didn't pay any 'compensation' to the natives for the land, nor are the natives reaping any real benefit today. It's time for the Germans to pay compensation, or land reform WITHOUT compensation must occur. The German history of savagery leaves little room for pity when the situation is righted in Namibia. It's an insult to hear the Germans still try to justify their ownership of so much land. The situation must change quickly.

      There used to be many places like that in SA, where the only reason you really pay is to keep those not willing to cash out, out. Like many camping sites (at least ~15 years ago, not sure now anymore) were actually considered free, but had small (like under $7 and then you can take the whole family in) fees for entry for any amount of people you bring along, and it kept most of those that would litter and be disrespectful out surprisingly well, and also kept the place from overflowing with campers. You'd still get the occasional hillbilly that would go and get wack drunk and play loud music, but it was faar less often than it was at the completely free locations

      It's the correct term; it was used to describe the non-Arabic/Berber parts of Africa, with a low technology standard and extremely low life expectancy. You could say most of the technology in those zones came from Europe. It sounds cynical, but you should not forget that the Sahel Zone and other parts of Africa had life expectancies of 35 until the 1970s. The temperature of Africa and the variety of sicknesses make it a rather harsh environment. Also, child mortality was over 50%; only a small portion of children reached their 6th birthday.

      Then German colonialism in what is now Namibia ended 109 years ago, so any claims to that sound rather outdated. Visa requirements are widespread, especially for countries whose citizens are unlikely to travel for non-economic reasons. Fun fact: visa-exempt entry to Namibia is restricted to 13 (out of 54) African countries and even people from these countries are not allowed to work in Namibia without a specific work permit. Until recently, several non-African citizens were equally allowed into Namibia without a visa for non-economic purposes (mostly tourism, but also family reunions).
      Buying land as a foreigner is usually difficult, especially in Namibia, where it is a nightmare, even for domiciled persons or permanent residents (I know; I'm one of these). Instead, if you were to have permanent residence status in an EU/Schengen country, however, you could easily buy land.

    Colonialism in Namibia indeed left an indelible mark on its history, but the scars it left cannot solely explain the ongoing divisions among its people. The fragmentation witnessed today stems not just from the colonial past but from a failure to cultivate unity and collaboration among Namibians themselves. Despite the legacies of German colonialism, it is crucial to recognize that it is the Namibians who hold the future of their nation in their hands. The ability to forge a cohesive society and build effective governance rests on their shoulders.
    As someone with deep ties to Namibia, I can attest to the resilience and industriousness of the Namibian people. Many have worked tirelessly to create businesses, develop infrastructure, and establish educational and healthcare systems, showcasing their potential to thrive despite past injustices. However, the question remains: why has this potential not translated into a more unified approach to governance? The blame often directed at former colonial powers, including Germany, obscures the pressing need for accountability and leadership from within Namibia.
    In the age of globalization, with nations like China emerging as major players in Africa, the urgency for Namibians to find common ground has never been greater. The capacity to protect their assets and secure a prosperous future hinges not on past grievances but on collaborative action toward a shared vision. While acknowledging historical wrongs, it is equally important for Namibians to reflect on their own responsibility to forge a path forward. True progress will only come when the focus shifts from assigning blame to cultivating unity, leadership, and a determined collective effort aimed at uplifting their nation.

    If only the Namibian native people learned permaculture, water harvesting, and regenerative agriculture principles, they would generate more food, shade, and water in their communities. Geoff Lawton and his greening the desert project is a good template. Food Forest Namibia is a good channel where a man is transforming his plot of land and he hires local men to work. The workers are learning the principles and seeing the change first hand.

      Growing food is one of the best ways to create wealth and fight against injustice. A people that can feed itself and collect its own water becomes independent of aid. Knowledge of how to make land healthy and producing food can not be taken away from you once you learn. Where ever you are in the world, there is likely soil.
