Which party to vote for in 2024 in Namibia

I don't know if any party deserve my vote in 2024. I have no guarantee that they will be any different than SWAPO. What's your opinion?

Rabies PEP

Hey, i will be visiting Namibia soon and was wondering how easily you can get a rabies post-exposition prophylaxis in namibia itself (in case needed). And if so, is it common in the smaller towns/hospitals/pharmacies as well to have it available or only in the large cities like windhoek? Any informations? Thanks in advance!

Have you ever been robbed at home?

I’m curious as to how it feels to have your property and safety violated when you are at home. I was robbed twice but they didn’t wake us up, we just realised everything was gone in the morning. What is it like when they engage with you? Are they violent? Please feel free to share your story if you don’t mind, I would love to read your story.

A couple Questions before visiting next week

Hi Everyone,

I'm headed to Namibia from the United States next week. We are doing a self drive trip Can't wait to see your country. I had a few questions I thought maybe someone could help with.

  1. Is there anything we could bring from the US that is difficult to find or expensive in Namibia to give to locals to be helpful? Something that we could fit in our luggage. Anything we can purchase in Windhoek to take to locals in more rural areas?

  2. What is generally expected for tips for tours, restaurants, etc?

  3. Edited previous question about buying outlet adapter. Google says there's two types of plugs in Namibia. Which one is more common. I have a type M adapter (South African style).

  4. We'll be driving from Windhoek to the east side of Etosha. Would it be worth taking the C22/C47/D2830 to possibly have a view of Waterberg and go through Grootfontein? Or would you just take the most direct route (B1)?

  5. Which route would you recommend from Sossuvlei to Windhoek?

I appreciate any advice anyone can give.

Recommendations for Namibia/Botswana

I'd like to travel to Namibia, and I plan on doing a 8 day guided tour that will include the following: Swakopmund, Namib Desert, Cape Cross, Spitzkoppe, Skeleton coast, Etosha, Otjiwa

I'm considering lengthening the trip. I'd like recommendations on additional places to visit in Namibia, how best to arrange the tours, any recommendations for tour companies. Also, I am considering visiting Okavango Delta. What is the recommended way to get there from Windhoek? I'm open to driving and doing things without a tour group...however, I'll be solo and have no experience driving a 4x4. Would love to hear advice on whether it would be advised to self drive or it is better to stick to tours

Resettlement

Is the resettlement of people from areas of urban poverty around Windhoek to plots of land in the north a priority of the national government and, if not, should it be? If so, why and how could it be accomplished?

What is your ideal affordable housing?

What amenities does it need, how much should it cost per month, etc.

This isn't a question about an ideal house ("I want a mansion!") but more of a ("I'm happy to live here.")

Driving with Dutch License?

I am planning to travel to Namibia next month and rent a car. I find conflicting information online about the necessity of an international driving permit.

I have a Dutch license (which has the English word “Driving Licence” on it, but apart from that is fully Dutch. My name and the validity is clearly readable however.

Is this okay to rent a car and drive around with? Or will this get me into trouble? I am living outside of the Netherlands which makes it hard to quickly get the international permit.

In school we are taught that these are the six myths in the business/work world but I've come to experience these as rules of the game. In the Namibian context of business/work, what do you think?

Why do so many Namibians hate air fryers?

I tried to sell my brother over the weekend on air fryers being actually handy and them being just tiny ovens, he’s intrigued, but not convinced to go buy one. Help me understand this phenomenon..

National Examination Timetable

Hello!

Does anyone here know where I could get the NSSCO & NSSCAS end of year examination timetable? I’ve heard rumors of it already being out, and they’re usually finalized by the end of March or so. And the official website for the MoEAC does not usually provide it till the beginning of September there, so I’d really like to be a step ahead.

Thank you!

How to see some places at sunset or sunrise in Namibia

I'm seeking advice on viewing certain places at sunset and sunrise in Namibia, given the rental car usage restrictions at night. Specifically, I'm interested in seeing Fish River Canyon at sunset and Sossusvlei at sunrise, but I'm facing challenges finding nearby accommodations or campsites within walking distance.

Any tips from those who've managed this would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Should immigrants be part of the Affirmative Action designated group or not?

Resident Chinese communities (or any Asian and/or Indians) were also discriminated against during apartheid, but should immigrants from these ethnic groups receive a benefit under AA if they did not live under the apartheid regime?

Should immigrants be part of the designated group or not?

Hoping for a healthy and respectful debate.
