The Untold Story of Namibia's Struggle Against Apartheid South Africa | Sam Nujoma
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 вер 2024
- Namibia’s bitter hundred-year struggle against
colonial rule came to an end on March 21, 1990, when Sam Nujoma was sworn in
as the first president of independent Namibia.
As the Cofounder and leader of the South West Africa People’s Organization
(SWAPO), Sam Nujoma spearheaded the country’s thirty-year military and
diplomatic campaign, attacking South Africa’s illegal presence in what was at the
time called, South West Africa.
In the process, Nujoma emerged as the personification of the Namibian
independence struggle.
It then took many years of revolt and warfare for Namibia to gain its independence
from South Africa and during the years of revolt and warfare, between 20 000 and
25 000 people died.
In this episode of African Biographics, we cover the story of Sam Nujoma,
Namibia’s First President and that country eventually achieved independence from
South Africa.

Namibia's Nama and Herero Genocide Video: ua-cam.com/video/t6mHczWdivQ/v-deo.html
As a Tanzanian I am so proud we supported Namibia’s struggle for independence. 🇹🇿💚🇳🇦
Right? You guys rocks! From the Swahili to the perfect beaches of Zanzibar 🙌🏽
Thank you. I am Namibian, fighting for Africa Citizenship for all Africans - one africa. I want all countries to be represented as Africa by one president or dictator or any ruling type is best and much better the rules of the westerners and easterners - a white skin.
They want to come treat our man in africa the way they treat blacks in the west. It is bad to the core of humanity.
I saw war and i rang in the independence of Namibia. I want to see independent Africa. Africans being treatwed like children by the west, like half brained people by the west is an agenda.
I see it here in the USA. Any foreigner assumed a half brain by an American citizen and it is made to be believed they are better than anyone and everyone coming into their country. The black citizens, are considered trash. They are heavily broken as the have war targeting a black man not to have ownership of anything, no matter the degrees or status they will find a way to take it away from that man….
You supported all of us,we will forever be great full for what you have done for us
Whole of Southern Africa is indebted to the suffering Tanzanians endured just so fellow blacks can be free too
As a former history teacher in Namibia, I give you 10/10. You presented facts without exaggerating.
Thank you so much
@@AfricanBiographics which country are you from
In all due respect Tanzania should not be forgotten for leading and hosting the many freedom struggles of African Countries
We never forgot Tanzania's contributions to SWAPO, even to the point that all the elders that attended the Congress meeting in dar es Salaam are called the Tandanika click
Despite being the first genocide of the 20th century, the 1904-1908 massacre of the indigenous Herero and Nama peoples by German colonial troops in Namibia remains a little-known chapter of history. It was not until May of this year that Berlin officially recognised its responsibility for the atrocities. Our regional correspondents report.
😞😞😞😞
Yet we're supposed to care about the holocaust
I agree! You will hardly find information on it. Same with the genocide of the aboriginal people of Australia
There was no aboriginal genocide.
Sam Nujoma was very different from from other African vaultures who ceased Power and never wanted to leave.
He was a man of Principles
YES!! Met him few years before he became the President!! 👍🌍🤝✌️
Even Khama and Mandela
Viva to all who fought for the liberation of Namibia. I taught there from 1984 to 1991.I was in Opuwo.Namibia is one of the beautiful countries in the African continent.
All countries in Africa are beautiful
I am from Gambia 🇬🇲 based in Switzerland 🇨🇭 this my favorite channel
Thank you
Had this channel launched 10 years ago..I would have passed my history lesson with AAAAA+! Thanks AB
This maybe the first biography on this channel where the subject is not particularly tyrannical, dictatorial, or corrupt before, during, or after taking power. It is a refreshing change. Once more governments in Africa can consistently make smooth, peaceful transitions of power the entire continent will greatly benefit as a whole. Because instability in one country often reverberates into neighboring countries.
Thanks for the comment
well, dictatorial is a bit debatable. But you're right on the other aspects
There is in no way post independence where Namibia even in the slightest seemed to have tyrannical or doctoral rule @kiko fereira
@@sotternambambi5118 I believe that. But he said "before, during, or after taking power"
As a Namibian who grew up in America(Virginia) the facts of this were correct and out great nation of Namibia was represented well! Thank you!
I am a Namibian in Missouri, nice to e-meet you.🇳🇦😍
Loved it,fun fact during the 70's I think Rupiah Banda former Zambian president used to represent Namibia at the UN
Mmm is this true? Rupiah Banda wasn't in power in Zambia yet baba
@@southernafricanboy4148 what is your argument Sir
@@davies1simbayi I'm just trying to understand in what capacity was he representing them sir
Wow! One Afrika well represented. Kaunda, son of Malawians, ruled Zambia. Even AAup there Kagame grew and was M7 Intelligence supremo! Chris Hani fought for Nkomo. Mirriam Makeba represented Guinea at the UN! OR Tambo stayed at the Zambian state House!
As a namibian i would refer this video to the youth.. You went deep even spoke about the dark side if swapo I love the research...
Thanks Jonas
Interesting how Tanzania played a huge role in liberating southern Africa together with Samora and Kwame Nkrumah
A massive role from the Tanzanian people. 🇹🇿💚
I'm not aware of Kwame Nkrumah playing part in Southern Africa but Tanzania 100%
Kwame nkrumah was ousted and overthrown in 1966.Before even most of the southern african countries got their independence.I don't know where nkrumah failed if he could have taken Mwalimus advice he would have succeeded and retired peaceful just like Mwalimu who retired and handed over power and continued to be an african states man.
Tanzania, Zambia and Angola shall never be deleted from the history of liberation of Southern Africa. The roles they had played are so huge to narrate.
I lived in Namibia for 8 years. Will forever be grateful
Thank u for your proper research and presentation. The Namibian product of the struggle viewing u from Barbados.
Long live Africa. God bless the people of Namibia
Been hoping for a video on this subject. Greatly appreciated and anticipated.
I first visited Namibia in 1996, 6 years after independence. I had visited South Africa in 1994 but considered it to still be a "white" run country and was therefore a bit apprehensive about now going to a country that had had a black government for 6 years. My fears were immediately allayed. I found a country that was well run by Sam Nujoma and his government, with friendly people and devoid of the amount of corruption usually experienced in most African countries. As I had been conditioned to believe that the former head of a "terrorist" organisation and who was now the president would be like the corrupt heads of other recently independent African governments I was extremely surprised.
There is still a lot of poverty in Namibia, same like before. And high unemployment -30%. Sam Nujoma lives pretty well though.
My father was in Namibia for a peace keeping mission in 1989 from Ghana and brought back beautiful memories. He brought back the blueprint of the house he stayed in over there and built it in Ghana. I hope to visit there one day
Come through bro. You would not regret it!
@@uno_tvm let’s link up so when the time comes we can meet bro
Please we are waiting your visit, many African brothers indeed tool part in peace keeping of that time.I remember Ghanians, Kenyans and Nigerians among others who were part of UNTAG.
VIVA Namibia VIVA Africa,
Sam Nujoma is a great son of the soil
Viva Nujoma viva as a black south African i also. salute Nujoma for fighting the apartheid devil's
Thank you for doing my countrys history!🇳🇦❤
Why didn't the ANC teach us that the we had more than one victory over the struggle?
Because the ANC tries to rewrite history to an anti-Afrikaner history. The ANC needs to do so to justify their corruption and beurtkrag. And in fact, the ANC never had any victory. Without Frederik Willem de Klerk, Apartheid would still exist and South Africa would have or have had a civil war. Namibia would also still he South African. The role of Nelson Mandela was rather changing the government from a white (& Coloured) minority to a mixed government then "abolishing Apartheid". Also, Mandela did this together with De Klerk and Mbeki. The ANC wants to blame their failures to Apartheid. Consider that nearly all South African infrastructure date from Apartheid era.
Long live TATE KULU SAME NUUYOMA - WISHING YOU MANY MORE YEARS OF GOOD HEALTH AND HAPPINESS
Very nicely compiled documentary. Greetings from an 🇳🇦 in the 🇳🇱.
Fascinating story.
Namibia approves. 🇳🇦
As a Finnish I first of all thank you for the great work you are doing for making the content we on Europe normally do not have. Other thing, again As a Finn and our history with intependence strugle of Namibia, how does Namibians think about Finlands part of the intependence - like work of Martti Ahtisaari?
Namibian and Finnish relations remain extremely friendly, as the friendship started during the time when both of our respective countries were under colonial occupation.
The relations started through the Lutheran missionary missions done by the Somi people around the turn of the 20th century, that introduced Christianity to the dominant ethnic group in Namibia (Owambo People)
Martti Ahtisaari was given the honor of an honorary Namibian for his efforts at the United Nations towards Namibia's independence process at diplomatic level and has a school named in his honor.
In short, we have a relationship that has spanned over 100 years of contact with extremely good relations which hopefully trade can increase and reflect the genuine friendly relations between the two nations.
@@juniornam1186 thanks for the info 💐
Hi Panu I don't know about how Finnish contribution is seen in Namibia but in Rhodesia which is now Zimbabwe the Scandinavian were dearly loved for the work they did supporting our freedom fighters fighting against racism. Sweden, afinaldn etc supplied our guys with food, clothing etc
I’ve watched many such channels but AB has come out on top. Quality and quantity in abundance. !Afrika🌍
This is my hero. What a man!!! What a warrior!!! I wish our South African politicians could learn from this noble statesman. There's too much corruption in this rotten country. I salute Namibia.
One of the saddest untold horrors of European Imperialism and genocide!
Much respect to Nujoma he fought for liberation, became president and then stepped down to let others continue with the presidential duties unlike others like Mugabe who clanged to power until they were unceremoniously removed
The queen of England never left power until death
Clung bot clanged. If study history in depth, you'll bwgib to understand why the ones who cling to power, do so
Do one on Rupiah Banda former Zambian president 🇿🇲🇿🇲🇿🇲🇿🇲 he died a month ago
We are waiting
land land land, if you do not own it in your own country what is independence for you?
Good job, no masks, thank you!
I wrote my thesis on Namibia’s independence, good job
Salute Namibia🇳🇦🇳🇦🇳🇦
Good documentary, but you left out the part of political concienceness of railway experience of Cde. Sam Nujoma, the crutial part that made him leave the country for the first time, that part Sam Nujoma learning & send off to petition the UN by Herero Chief Hosea Kutako, which he renamed after the Windhoek, Namibia international airport is name after.
Sam Nujoma was inspired by the work of Chief Hosea Kutako in Old Location. Chief Kutako send first late Pro. Mburumba Kerina to brief the situation in the U.S hand over the struggle for independence & illegal occupation o the oppressor & brutality action of the oppresser, therefore, petition of Chief Hosea Kutako with the Chief Councel wrote about the oppression of territory called South West Africa, Kerina the man who
coined the name Namibia after our desert, Namib desert, Prof. Kerina deserted the struggle and went to study medicine, which he didn't finish, later studied philosophy. Chief Kutako again send Advocate Fanuel Jariretundu Kozonguizi to take the petition, he too went to study & deserted the struggle. Its in 1961 when Chief Hosea Kutako heard that the two Herero he send abandoned the struggle, its were the Chief Hosea Kutako send Sam Nujoma, Sam Nujoma was under Hosea Kutako wings in Windhoek old location. Its here were Chief Kutako send Sam Nujoma to the UN, Rev. Michael Scott had a discussion with the Chief, Scott when back to wait for Zam Nujoma in the U.S. They did met later, After Nujoma gave the petition its when he was marked by SA apartheid regime.
Ya Toivo was a mine worker who was inspired by the ANC leaders like Chief Luthuli & Dr. Moroka, Dube & others who was very vocal that time. A group of Namibia mine worker mostly from Northern Namibia started Owamboland People Organization (OPO). Later this group were advised by Pro. Kerina & Sam Nujoma while they were in the U.S through writings to change the name Swapo, as the must now think national. Later Nujoma met other Africa gaints like Nyerere, Kenyatta, Seko Ture, Cabral, Kaunda, Ben Bella, Kwame & others, even Fidel Castro who inspired him further. As you know later PLAN soldiers were trained in communist countries.
Thanks for the documentary anyway, for future reference of our children, i just felt, for it not differ with Oral history that was pass through by those who where present in those days, its vital to add, it can also e verified by Cde. Sam Nujoma & others who are still alive. Its my take as history student.
Anyway, Salute all fallen heroes. Namibia 🇳🇦🇳🇦🇳🇦 Land of the brave. I salute Africa. Everyone who help the people of Namibia to gain their independent. Never apartheid regime again. Thank God for the independence of Republic of Namibia.
Sam Nujoma 's wife is a Herero. Sam Nujoma was with the Herero people mostly until he left to exile. That's why today the Herero & Nama people was demanding reparation, its because Chief Hosea Kutako was leadership style was of a nationalist one. Indeed Sam Nujoma was instrumental.
Thanks for sharing
Fact:
He has a natural smiling look even when he is not smiling, he looks so. Turned 95 years old May 2024.
Excellent Documentary
Do one of UNITA
Ok 👌,..I will be here at due time!.
You should write a book...and we will use it to teach our history!!!
Mwalimu Nyerere really played a significant role in shaping and pushing for several African countries' independence.
Wow, that was awesome. It’s cool how they’re all starting to come together regionally and from various points of view. Crazy how SDF supported UNITAS in order to destabilize Dos Santos who was supporting PLAN. And Cassinga 😭
Waiting for your President Moi video boss
Thanks, it's in the pipeline
Cuban defeated south Africans agreement was reached fr Cubans to withdraw Namibia to b granted independence
I love your channel. Your research and dedication is much appreciated 🖤
Namibia is my home away from home -
Good luck for Namibia.
Always great history and well narrative
It should be emphasized that the government that did this was not south africa but Apartheid south Africa. There is a massive difference between the 2
Apartheid minority white government which was colonizing SA and Namibia that time. There's need for correction in that to make it clear everyone. Viewers may think it was black on black fighting.
We only know about herero and nama uprising where our people have been massacred by German colonial rule thats all our people know
Wrong information swapo troops never fight for this country it has been negotiated at the United nations of league of nations were namibia was granted resolution 435 for free and fair election to take place under the watch of United nations peace keep force
@@ferdieortman6614 if you say SWAPO didn't fight for this country' why the apartheid rulers of that time attacked Cassinga in Angola
@@ferdieortman6614 without SWAPO Namibia was going to still be South West Africa. SWAPO fought and defeated the Boers
Majority of Good leaders,started serving others!! What did Christ did for humanity??
Always proud of every single African political struggles for Independence! The economic independence continues!!!

[6]And the men of Gibeon sent unto Joshua to the camp to Gilgal, saying, Slack not thy hand from thy servants; come up to us quickly, and save us, and help us: for all the kings of the Amorites that dwell in the mountains are gathered together against us.
The SWAPO was armed by the MPLA 🇦🇴. There would be no Namibia history nor Namibia as a country if it wasn’t for Angola.
Angola' and Afrika' Russian' Cuba and China all supported the rebellation struggle for Namibia.
@@llehamlungu2277 Remove China 🇨🇳 from the list!!
@@kingmufasa77 exactly, China back then didn’t help AT ALL.
Thanks for the narrative.
Please avoid annoying any background music. It is not necessary. Bothers ear when you use headphone.
Excellent work!
South african army suffered heavy casualties in that decisive battle of Quito Quanavale in Southern Angola. Its that war that forced SA to accept to leave Namibia.
Actually and statistically you are wrong re casualties on the South African side. The extended battle was a stalemate as such. Soon after things changed in South Africa etc etc
@@matthewthomas3890 Apartheid South Africa lost air superiority in that battle thanks to the Cuban Migs being more superior than S.A cheater class jet fighters.
It might have been a stalemate but a decisive victory on the PLAN,MPLA side
@@juniornam1186 victory is a matter for those who were there then ?
@@matthewthomas3890 liar. That’s what is typical with White supremacists. Make up any thing to look like they came up on top (lower causalities) or reasons to justify being the good guys (the other guys were bad and first killed us)
@@juniornam1186 it was not Cuban air superiority it was Angola pilots trained in the Soviet Union who had just came back. This tendency to credit anyone else but Africans keeps amazing me, not to mention that even Cubans are predominantly black too.
Great Work🌞
The Cubans are everywhere , when it comes to people revolution
The commies are everywhere, when it comes to commie revolutions.
1893: Skirmishes between German soldiers sent to protect German settlers and local Herero, Nama and Witbooi clans increase. German Governor Curt von Francois's men attack Nama Chief Hendrik Witbooi and the village of Hornkranz, massacring women, children and the elderly. Witbooi retaliates and temporarily disrupts transport from coastal Swakopmund to central Windhoek.
Your seems to suggest he single handedly fought Apatheid.......
Would suggest title........"Sam Nujoma..who lead the fight against Apartheid.
Our father
Good morning Africa, I will not repeat myself. Your deliverance and blessings have been locked up for centuries. God Almighty has sent down a man of the mantle of Noah to deliver you. Seek God Almighty and find out that man whom God will reveal to you. Only Noah can set you free. That's all. If you obey and do you what God has revealed you will be blessed else you won't. Obedience is better than sacrifice.
South Africa was legal in Suidwes. But only as a mandate. Not as a province.
Thank you for your videos!
I actually heard from my parents that the Toi Toi was made notorious but Toivo de Toivo’s style. Can someone confirm this?
It makes sense if you look that it makes up the first three letters of his name “TOI TOI!”
Sold Namibia to the Chinese, he came to Namibia with nothing before independence and today he is one of the richest Namibians. No longer impressed by this guy.
100% but at least be greatful for what he did and creating a peaceful, stable, safe country. The man inspires and is still charismatic as ever even at 92. Show me the leaders (Obama, Bush, Clinton, putin, Merkel, Mandela) who did not enrich themselves.... But none went to fight a war
Sam Nujoma has gone from freedom fighter to Multi-Millionaire business-man
Yes 100% and so have all western leaders. Our president had made mistakes and many flaws but we will always be grateful and proud for what he risked against the racist millionaires of apartheid and to this day, we have lived in peace. Thank you Tate Sam
P.L.A.N. Is one of the more interesting acronyms I’ve seen on the channel 😅
It was the best named gorilla group in history
@@juniornam1186 agreed completely
I ha no idea of this history, thank you.
President Sam Njoma is a very very rich man today!
So What ?
@@philipbanda6637 corruption.
The narration is coherent and quite thoroughly. But inhowfar is it untold?
how many bullet or scratched marks?...Namibian history!
before today I only knew Namibia for Frankie Fredricks
August 1904: The Battle of Waterberg hands German forces under General Lieutenant Lothar von Trotha a decisive victory over Chief Samuel Maharero and Herero rebels. Von Trotha then gives an extermination order, warning that every Herero found in German-occupied land will be executed. Unarmed Hereros are routinely shot or hanged, their cattle are either stolen or killed and German settlers take over the land. This is in response to the killing of around 120 German settlers and soldiers by local tribespeople. Massacres of Herero and Nama people by German colonists and the Schutztruppe follow the Battle of Waterberg and Trotha's order. Hereros are driven into the harsh Omaheke region, where thousands die of hunger and thirst.
Namibia today is one of the most corrupt countries in the world...only the Ovambo people are getting rich and the rest is getting poorer and poorer...we as a nation are suffering under the swapo government...it's really sad..
You are so ignorant and a tribalist!."only ovambo people are getting rich" so if you go to Havana,goreagab,oshitenda, Babylon,etc the most poorest settlements are packed with Namas,hereros ,damaras and boers or what? .The majority are aawambo people in those poor settlements. Majority of unemployed Namibians are Aawambo people, hence PROBABILITY plays a huge role...so which richness are you talking abt?Why is UNAM , NUSt and IUM are packed with Ovaa'wambo..is it also because of nepotism and those institutions only accepting aawambo or is it because of probability?!
You are not wrong or either right' if you could count, majority of poorest people in Namibia are Wambo people, that's the truth.
@@llehamlungu2277 people forget that probability plays a huge factor
aawambo people are abt 60/70% of the population so obviously the richest you"ll come across will be aawambo people,the poorest you encounter will be aawambo and every 3rd person you meet will be a wambo..be it in town or at your workplace.As Namibians we ought to unite and fight the elite..its not a tribal issue...but people who are tribalist will make it a tribal issue..these are the same people who used to look down on aawambo people pre-colonialism and early 1990's.Today the playing field is equal and some people can't stand the fact that "die vokken wamboes" are dominating in different sectors and high grn positions..because they were
indroctinsted to believe they were more superior than the bantus .. specifically Aaawambo,kavangos and Zambezians.These are also the same people who were on SADF's side during the apartheid era...while others on the other side of the red line were crossing into Angolian jungles to fight for Namibia's freedom but today they want to make the loudest noise about Aawambo people.Atleast most Aawambo people never sold out to germans and SADF unlike other non Bantu tribes in Namibia.
@@mel-b7193 Many Namibians are Bantus' except whites and xhoisan but still many people have the perception of Aawambo are rich than other tribes' we are also hard working people.
@@mel-b7193 I’m a proud Om’wambo!
Our forefathers fought to death to protect our land that’s why in the North we have our own land unlike in some parts like the South where there were traitors and collaborators that sold out others to whites!
And in the north we have been building from scratch and yet some tribes still envy us and call us tribalists 🤦🏾♂️
NAMIBIA SUPPOSED TO BE RUN BY DR SAM NUJOMA WITHOUT BEING STEPPED OUT FROM THE CHAMBER & OFFICE ON G.R.N🇳🇦. otherwise we youths could follow...now we are politically confused. New New...we ain't good here

Well I was warning insouth African mins by then and became very much happier when Namibia got independence intact Sam , Mandela and Mugabe were my favorite.there Wes a white Boer there by the name of Dick Mxurge where did he end.
I think who died during the war are more than that number really.
You committed a very big mistake in saying that the Kuito Kusnavale battle ended in a draw and people were tired, if that was the case the war in Angola wouldn’t last another 10 years. This is w White Supremacist rhetoric, is not the Cuban forces who beat the Racist apartheid Army it were Angolans... at that time many trained Angolan pilots were coming back from the Soviet Union, they guaranteed air superiority over the already outnumbered apartheid Army, who nonetheless were gaining terrain due to their tanks and artillery. At the end of the day, not long after the battle of Kuito Kuanavale apartheid South Africa after failing to grant control of Angola to an ally, decided to give
Namíbia it’s independence. And then the Soviet Union fell, the Angolan government changed its identity from Marxist Leninist to a social democracy, thus becoming more appealing for the US/the West Who saw no more use in Jonas SAVIMBI, betraying him later on. So no. People love to downplay the role the Angolan army played in the dismantling of white supremacy in the southern region.... just stop. Even when we were at war we never stopped supplying Namibia with weapons, even today both the Namibian and the Soith African governments went twice in Angola, the Namibia government issued an official thanks for the MPLA in Soecific and Ramaposa wants to sponsor a monument to be built in Angola, in a location were rebel South Africa soldiers were housed in Angola. They just put Cuba at the forefront’s cuz they still sell the incapacity of Africans to defeat white Armies, that’s all the point. And it should goes without mentioning that Cuba has a lot of black people too.
Of the estimated 1.000.000 causalities of the war, only 68 thousand were Cuban, may god bless them, but yeah, as Angolan it hurts me to see that y’all too as Africans keep reproducing a version of the story as told by the same apartheid regime. THEY DIDNT GIVE UP IN KUITO KIWANAVALE BECAUSE THEY WERE TIRED, THEY GOT BEATEN.
I think that both things are true: it was a stalemate, but in the end it was also a political defeat for South Africa, because it prompted their withdrawal from Namibia. It was a military stalemate, because SADF and UNITA were unable to overrun Cuito Cuanavale, mostly as you say because of air superiority on the part of the Angolans and Cubans. The Angolans resisted the siege at such cost to SA in terms of casualties and loss of materiel, that they realised their presence in Southern Angola was unsustainable. Doing a deal with SWAPO was their best option in protecting their long term economic interests in Namibia.
Angola, we love you as africans, thank you
You forgot the part where Rupiah Banda governed Namibia
