Investors/Go fund me alternatives or similar in Namibia/Africa?

My friend needs some advice on how to raise funds for an app he would like to develop in relation to providing a very much needed and helpful service in Namibia, I understand that giving more information would help with suggestions but I can't divulge at this moment. Any ideas or I.T companies that take investment proposals?

Hey, I'm in year 12 and am looking for some short term work for over the holiday.

I am finishing my Cambridge AS level exams in mid November and was looking for some work during the holiday as a way to pass time and help raise money for college expenses partially.

I learn very quicky and am really open to anything, I enjoy working with kids and dogs, babysitting would be ideal. I am very organized and extremely resourceful. I can also work as a personal assistant and receptionist as I help out my mom all the time with filing and taking calls at her office.

I have a passion for arts and crafts, I make my own beaded jewellery and have a knack for gift giving, I speak French to a small degree but I understand it better than i speak. I also speak Shona and a little Ndebele.

I also love to cook <3

Is the Owambo tribalism debate on X valid?

So for the past 48hrs on X (formally known as twitter) there has been a uproar on the whole Miss Namibia national costume being very controversially tribalist due to the fact that she is wearing a owambo dress. Is the sudden distaste of the dress valid? does it represent us all as namibian citizens? and is there a way we can come to a middle ground on this?

Need advice regarding boundary wall between properties

So, in brief. Our neighbour is being rather difficult about the boundary wall between our properties and I can't get any clear answers on this and what the laws are.

Details: They claim it's their boundary wall, although nothing has been confirmed and the building plans at the municipality are not giving us clear answers either. Two plans say it's our wall, two plans say it is their wall.

Right now they are making life hell because they want to paint it their desired colour (on our side of the wall) right after we renovated and repainted a very dilapidated wall. These neighbours are also requesting that we remove the electric fence we put up or get their consent. They don't have an electric fence elsewhere on their property, so for safety, we installed our own on the wall between our properties. (NB the installer of the fence and others in the industry have no knowledge of needing to get permission first).

What are the laws or where can I look? Everyone that advised me so far said that we are allowed to paint it our desired colour, but the feedback about the electric fence is mixed. Especially because ownership of thw wall hasn't been confirmed.

If you've been through this, please share your experience 😅

Touring Namibia

Is it easy to get a SIM card and if so what network provider would you suggest? I will be travelling out of the major cities and would like something reliable for when I’m in the middle of nowhere.

Sunday League or "Free" boxing

Good day, fellow Namibians, hope you're all well.

I'm looking for places where I could play soccer with some people, kind of like Sunday league football where a bunch of homies come together and play ball together on a field or a big enough space. I am looking to play and make some new friends.

And boxing academies where I could train, hopefully for free for the purposes of training and exercising (not looking to go pro)

Hope I can get your assistance.

Thank you in advance.

P.S. They should be in Windhoek ONLY. Thank you

Looking for Second Hand PCs for Home Server Projects?

Hi all,

I’m looking for second-hand PCs, ideally ones that companies have given away after upgrading their hardware. I’m not after a gaming rig or anything too fancy just something I can Frankenstein together for a home server cluster project.

I know from my time in Ireland, you could sometimes go to the dump where they had a section for old tech that people had disposed of. Is there anything similar or any places where I might find decommissioned office PCs at a decent price?

I’ve checked out Cash Converters (the one by Super Spar), but the prices were quite high for what they were offering. If anyone has recommendations for places to look whether it’s a website, store, or another idea please let me know!

Thanks in advance!

Apartment/flat hunting in Walvis tips

I don't know if this kind of post is allowed in here if it's not the mods can delete its cool. I'm based in Walvis and me and my younger brother (25 and 22) are apartment hunting but we're finding it very difficult probably because of the inexperience so I wanted to ask if anyone here who has more experience on this could give us some tips on how best to go about it. I also understand that the housing market in this country is terrible anyway.

Citizenship

I was Born in Angola , I practically grew up in Windhoek and was registered as a citizen by descent but around 2012 my dad decided to change our surnames in Angola only…he kinda messed up our documents so I went back to being an immigrant in the process having to get study permits throughout my time in here. But as far as I know I’m still registered but just with a different surname in the system. Not sure how I’d tackle this issue. Can I go to home affairs and change my old ID details to my current one ? Would they even understand ?

Gaming in Namibia?

Hey guys! I look at gaming cultures around the world and I am a racing game fan. I have asked all of these questions on different subreddits, simply because I am curious about how each and every single country on this planet experiences video games. I am also curious about gaming in Namibia. My questions are:

What is more popular? PC or console?

What was more popular in the late 90s and early 2000s? PC or Console?

What racing game was popular in the late 90s and early 2000s!

What do racing game fans in Namibia play today?-(I get it might not be the most popular genre, but for people who like it, what do they play?)

In general, what games are played there?

Thanks for your responses!!!!

NUST APPLICATION

Hey guys hope you're doing well. I submitted my application to NUST - application fee paid, all documents sent- in August and it's still saying application without status. I saw on their institutional calendar that they'll start sending letter on November 20. UNAM has already sent my application to the required faculty.

Is this normal? Should I be worried?

Thank you in advance to all those who helped.
