This year we have speakers from the Netherlands, Czech Republic, Romania, UK, India, South Africa, Zimbabwe, Botswana, Kenya - and of course plenty of Nambian Pythonistas too.

The programme: https://na.pycon.org/programme/.

Our two education days: https://na.pycon.org/education-days/ (one at NUST, one at Jakob Marengo school).

Our report from last year: https://na.pycon.org/2024/.

PyCon Namibia has been running since 2015, organised wholly by volunteers who give up their free time to do it. It has helped Namibian programmers find work in Namibia and abroad, including remote work with international software companies.

I am an American researcher and historian. I wrote my undergraduate thesis on Namibia and the regions colonial history. I am continuing my research at a Masters level, and will be visiting South African and Namibia next year. Unfortunately, there are not many Namibian people in the US, and therefore my research is limited to academic literature and primary sources. Despite this I am curious on what to expect when I arrive in Windhoek. What are your personal thoughts of Hendrik Witbooi, or Samuel Maharero, or other figures from the German colonial period? Do you think your personal opinion is reflective of the majority of Namibian people?

Hi, where in Windhoek can I get in touch with social workers? Are there any social workers who do counselling for free?

Hey everyone! New here. I spent some time in Walvis Bay years ago, but this time I’ll be in Windhoek and excited to explore more of Namibia. Looking for recommendations on great places to stay, as well as fun ways to stay active during the day and experience the city's vibrant nightlife.

I’m a 30-year-old from the States, likely here for about a week, and eager to make the most of my trip—whether that’s discovering scenic spots, trying local activities, or meeting new people along the way. Open to any suggestions!

We are visiting Africa from 13th-31st March. We will be based out of Cape Town but want to do wildlife/lanscape tour for 5 days with Windhoek as the hub. Can anyone recommend where to go; what to see and a local tour company that can arrange it for us, please ? We want authentic and are happy to camp and go off the beaten track in order to achieve it. Thanks in advance.

Hello, Please is there flight from Windhoek to Gaborone, please which and schedules?

Thanks in advance

Hey guys, I already posted about this settlement. However, since the US deadline was changed, I decided to share it again. It’s about their operations issues in the Kavango region a few years ago.

For those who may not remember, between October 2020 and September 2021, ReconAfrica was accused of unlicensed drilling, illegal water use, and plans for fracking, which is banned in Namibia. They were also criticized for hiding poor well results, which caused their stock to drop by 12% in one day.

The good news is that ReconAfrica recently decided to pay two settlements to investors to end this scandal. The US Settlement deadline was extended to April 25, 2025, and they’re accepting late claims for the Canadian Settlement.

So if you were an investor back then, you can check the info and file for the payment here:  https://11thestate.com/cases/reconnaissance-energy-africa-shareholder-settlement  for the US, and here: https://11thestate.com/cases/reconafricacanada-investor-settlement  for Canada. Hope it helps!

Hey everyone! A while ago I noted some curious phonetic symbols in languages from Namibia (might be other areas as well), like "!" "|" and "||". I tried asking ChatGPT help on this, because I couldn't find any info out there that I know is accurate. Also looking for pronunciations.

Some words I have noted are ||Karas and I think !nara.

This is what Chat says:
Namibian languages, particularly those of the Khoisan family, use several unique symbols that represent various click sounds. These click consonants are an important feature of the languages spoken in Namibia, such as Khoekhoe (Nama), Zǀuǁʼo (Damara), and other Khoisan languages.

Here are some of the symbols and the corresponding click sounds:

1. ǃ – A postalveolar click (a click made at the roof of the mouth, just behind the teeth). It sounds somewhat like a "tsk-tsk" noise and is often represented by the exclamation mark in transcription (e.g. !nara).
2. ǀ – A dental click (made by pressing the tip of the tongue against the teeth). This is a "tongue-on-teeth" click and is used in languages such as Khoekhoe.
3. ǁ – A lateral click (produced with the sides of the tongue against the roof of the mouth). It’s like the sound made when a person is trying to make a "clucking" noise to call a horse.
4. ǂ – A palatal click (produced with the middle of the tongue against the roof of the mouth). This sound is somewhat like a sharp, fast "clack."
5. ! – An exclamation mark by itself, representing a postalveolar click, as seen in !nara. This symbol often occurs in writing to denote the click at the start of the word.
6. ʘ – A bilabial click (made by pressing the lips together, like the sound used to signify "no" in some cultures). This is less common in Namibian languages but is still part of the click system.

Is Chat accurate? Can someone help explain to me the differences and their origins? I cannot see any courses online about Namibian languages?

Any help would be appreciated, even if I missed this in another discussion!
