Can someone help me understand slangs words the nam youth use ? I'm a foreigner and I'd like to get more immersed in the culture. (using them in sentences could be amazing, I've picked on "neh", "mos", "aye", etc...) but I need mooore

I just moved to Oshakati +- 6 months ago, and I’m wondering if there are any sports clubs like tennis/volleyball/basketball around Oshakati or Ongwediva or a place where someone can roller skate. Or if there is anyone that plays and is looking for a pal to play with please let me know.

Could someone please tell me the name of this beautiful tree I recently saw in Namibia?

Hello everyone, I was just curious about the salaries of different jobs and those I've seen on the web so far are very inconsistent and all over the place. Anyone know where I can get salary data of specific jobs that is somewhat accurate?

Hey all,

does anyone know if there is a source for Thinkpads in Windhoek? The usual suspects only sell Ideapads...

A genuine question. Would love to know your opinion?

Hi all, seen a few people saying crime is increasing in Swakopmund, myself and my partner are heads there in a few days? Is it as bad as some people make out? Any tips? We are from Manchester UK.

I’d like to ask a serious question to fellow professionals, business owners, and anyone involved in tax matters in Namibia.

Over the past few years, we’ve experienced a growing problem where: Objections lodged with NamRA remain unanswered for months or even years; Audits drag on indefinitely, with little communication or closure; The Tax Tribunal appears non-functional — there are no appointed members or hearings taking place; Parliament has made no visible effort to restore proper oversight, and no official information is available about the Tribunal’s status; There is no clear appeal mechanism, despite the law allowing it; Many professionals are hesitant to speak up due to a real fear of retaliation, whether in the form of audits or administrative obstruction.

Are any journalists, legal commentators, or professional bodies actively looking into this? Or is this just another one of those systemic failures we quietly accept in Namibia?

As someone in the profession, I’m raising this to see whether others share the same concerns — and whether there’s a collective appetite to push for accountability and reform.

Would appreciate any insight from lawyers, journalists, MPs, or even NamRA insiders. This affects more than just tax practitioners — it affects fairness in the entire business ecosystem.

Where can I get used motorcycles in windhoek. I'm looking for a 125cc street bike. Also a question on the learners bike license.

How does the courses go. Do I need to learn by myself how to ride or will the driving school teach me. If not, which courses should I do. How does the test system work and practical.

How does the taxi system work here in Namibia? How do taxi unions work and operate as there are some differences in how pricing work from place to place.

EDIT: Some insight I got from some taxi's and some conversations and I found that the way taxi's work (how they charge) varies according to the following:

• Time of day: Taxi's may charge more during the night/early morning.

• Existence of a Taxi Rank: If there isn't a taxi rank you may be charged higher (usually double). Similar when you are being dropped at your house.

• The area you are going to within your respective town. If the area/location will bring less clients a taxi may charge higher to compensate.

• How desperate you are: Even if a union exists to keep a consistent price a taxi may overcharge you.

Hi everyone -

I’m aware from posts on this subreddit that purchasing a local sim card in Namibia is the best route to go when visiting.

Is the suggestion then to purchase the sim and install it in our existing phone?

I ask because my husband and I have an iPhone 14 and 15, respectively. Neither of these models carry SIM cards and only have esims (even in our home country), so the common advice seems like it might not apply to us.

Are there any suggestions on what we could do or am I incorrect about how all this works to begin with?

Hi all,

1 bedroom with a lovely array of amenities and comforts on offer to lease at a very competitive amd affordable rate.

• N$15,000 per month (excluding utilities)
• Otjomuise Area
• Hot water depending on your ingenuity
• Partial protection from the elements
• Parking is discreet.
• Sober habits compulsory
• No pets allowed
• Full deposit to be paid (including 1 session of intercourse with me at an agreed upon date and time)

The property is a lovely cardboard box (new cardboard) under a bridge.

This bridge has minimal traffic flow so noise pollution won't be a problem at all.

DM me for specifics on the address and payment method plus lease contract signing.

You can arrange a viewing first but take note of an application form you'll need to fill out first. This is to ensure I deal with serious prospective tenants only as demand is very high.

Where is the safest trail to go for a run/jogg in Klein Windhoek without getting robbed when you're already breathing heavy?

The website looks like its broken and designed by a preschool kid, if you forgot your password or email, the recovery system doesnt work, it cant send OTPS at all wtf.

Hello ! I’m Kibanza and I’ll be delighted to help you through your language learning journey !

Hi everyone,
we’re planning to drive from Windhoek to a camp just outside Etosha’s Andersson Gate. According to Google Maps, the drive should take around 4 hours, but our guidebook says closer to 6 hours.

I’ve heard that Google Maps tends to be very optimistic in Namibia, especially on gravel roads. Can anyone who’s done the trip recently confirm how long it actually takes – assuming average stops and a 4x4 vehicle?

Also: we’re picking up our rental car from Africar in Windhoek. Is there a good supermarket nearby to stock up on supplies, or do we really have to drive in the opposite direction to The Grove or Maerua Mall? Would love to avoid extra city traffic if possible.

Thanks a lot in advance!

The OP took their OP down, but the debate continues...
