Hi all, I'm seriously looking for a remote/WFH role to fill and would love to hear from potential employers. Due to circumstances I am specifically looking for a remote position wether it be part time, full time or transactional. I have experience in everything from accounts,hr and job management to immigration duties wether it be work visas or crew changes. I am a people person and have no issue communicating across borders. Please feel free to send me a dm with any relevant contact information etc.

So Knightcap, that chess social lounge that happens at TaTe Village every end of the month just had it's 4th iteration a little over a week ago.

What. A. Vibe!!

And the kicker is, it might've been our best event yet despite the heavy downpour we had. But where there's inconvenience, at least there's good music. Oddly enough though, I just think it brought people together.

Sure, the event is about promoting and cultivating a culture around chess in a non-elitist/exclusionary sort of way but ultimately, all it comes back down to is people wanting to meet new people in a fresher, more intentional sort of way.

So...here's to Knightcap Volume 4, Volume 5 on the way.

Follow our socials @ knightcap.na on Instagram for updates on the next date drop.

Hi everyone,
I'm setting up a Shopify store from Namibia. so I'm looking for a gateway that actually works for Namibian merchants and lets customers pay by card at checkout.
I applied to DPO Pay but haven't received any feedback yet, so I'm trying to understand my options in the meantime.

Hi all i don't post here much but i am unsure of what to do. I am going to namibia with my friend and we are doing swakopmund immediately (2 nights late november) then spitzkoppe for a night on our way back to Windhoek (she has to speak at a conference so time is limited). Then she is leaving and I have a few days (4 nights) more that I can stay. I would love to do Etosha but also i know it is early December so not a great time for game. I also know Sossusvlei is a must do so I am wondering if people have advice on which is better solo / if it wont be as with it to do Etosha at that time.

Any help/ accomodation advice is appreciated TYYY

Hey hey! So, things escalated a little when I started my journey to learn Oshiwambo and we ended up building our little tool into something more people can also use. Most of the content come from Hai ti! from 2004, and is credited to the authors.

We hope that by sharing this we can help people pick it up, especially those of us living outside Namibia and the broader diaspora interested in the language. We will keep improving the site over time, and would really appreciate the feedback from anyone having the time or interest to use it. We naturally offer the tool for anyone teaching others the language and you can now even create an account to follow your own progress.

https://oshikwanyama.com/ is the address, and it will never cost anything to learn or maintain the language. Thanks for reading!

We're approaching the end of 2026. What has this current administration achieved?
Would love to hear your thoughts

Hey Namibia! 👋

I'm 16, and I'm building a product called Get Paid to help small businesses keep track of money customers owe them.

The idea came from a simple problem: when customers pay later, pay in instalments, or promise to pay on a certain date, it can become difficult to keep track of everything and remember who needs a follow-up.

Get Paid is designed to help businesses record outstanding balances, track partial payments, keep track of payment promises, and manage follow-ups in one place.

I'm still learning and trying to understand the real challenges small businesses face here in Namibia. Before taking this further, I'd love to hear from people with experience.

If you run a business in Namibia:

• How do you currently track money customers owe you?
• Do you use a notebook, WhatsApp, Excel, or accounting software?
• What's the most frustrating part of getting customers to pay on time?

I'm not here to pretend I have everything figured out. I'm building something real and want to learn from the people it could actually help.

I'd genuinely appreciate your thoughts and honest feedback! 🙏

Running a business is demanding enough without having to worry about whether your books are up to date, your cash flow is under control, or your financial reports are giving you the information you need.

I’m building Bester Holdings, a Namibia-based business focused on helping businesses strengthen their financial management and make better-informed decisions.

Our areas of support include:

• Monthly bookkeeping and account reconciliations
• Management accounts and financial reporting
• Cash-flow monitoring and budgeting
• Financial controls and expense monitoring
• Business finance support tailored to your needs

My approach is professional, discreet, and focused on understanding each business rather than offering a one-size-fits-all solution.

If you're a business owner who needs help getting your finances in order, or you want to discuss how outsourced financial support could work for your business, feel free to send me a private message.

I'm also happy to connect with fellow entrepreneurs and learn about the financial challenges businesses are facing.

Bester Holdings — Better financial clarity. Better business decisions.

Hi all, if anyone here has experience with administering Wordpress and the underlying OS, Debian, PHP and MariaDB database requirements, please reach out or ask any contacts to add a comment.

I'm looking for help with some fairly basic maintenance, server migrations, setting up staging sites, possibly exploring dockerised Wordpress etc.

Are there any other sites where Namibians with this sort of experience might also be found?

Have a good weekend in the meantime!

If this post isn't allowed, please take it down.

Planning a trip to Livingstone area and was curious about the Caprivi region. Is there anything of interest to see here? There isn't much information about it and there doesn't seem to be any tours of any sort. My hotel just says "we don't offer anything". Has anyone been and is it worth a visit? TIA.

Some views and shot of recent trip down to the south Duwisib, Sossusvlei areas.

Follow social media pages for more updates and adventures through Namibia.

We will assist with any inquiries should you have.

Who is the best 🤔 Debonairs?

Hi everyone,

I’m genuinely curious: why do you think so many people in Namibia still go without life or funeral cover?

If you don’t currently have a policy, what are the biggest factors influencing your decision?

I’m an insurance broker in Namibia. If you have questions about insurance — premiums, claims, exclusions, life cover, vehicle insurance, business insurance or anything else — I’m happy to explain it in simple terms.

Hi everyone. I’m not new to the community but wasn’t very constructive before (my apologies if anyone had to suffer through that fr). I’m going to start this off by saying I am a supporter of SWAPO but I’m also not blind to the issues plaguing our nation. So I know this is probably going to be a controversial topic but I was curious as to what people (both Namibian and foreign) think of SWAPO? I just wanted to start off with a “feeler” post so to say; to see if this topic is one people might be interested in discussing. Regardless thanks for taking the time to hear me out and I look forward to hearing from you guys/gals.

I recently moved and the hard water is absolutely destroying my hair and skin. My hair has been shedding way more than usual, feels dry/brittle and my skin has suddenly started breaking out too. I never really had these problems before moving so I’m starting to think the water might be the culprit.

Has anyone experienced this after moving here ? Would a shower filter actually help with this or are they mostly a gimmick ? If you use one and it actually made a difference, please tell me which brand/model you bought! Also open to any hair/skin products or other tricks that helped you deal with hard water.

At this point I’ll try anything because I would quite like to keep my hair on my head. Thank you!

The amount of hate I see directed at Job Amupanda is difficult to understand.
A lot of young Namibians were rooting for him when he was asking the questions that many people in positions of power did not have the courage to ask. He challenged the system and spoke about issues that many ordinary Namibians were already frustrated about.
Now that he is doing it on a bigger stage, suddenly the same energy has turned into hatred.
And I think we should ask ourselves why.
If someone is fighting corruption and questioning how public resources are being used, why should we hate the person asking the questions?
Corruption does not become acceptable because the people involved look like us. It doesn’t become less damaging because the people benefiting from it are fellow black Namibians.
That is one of the biggest contradictions I see in our society.
For years, we spoke about justice, equality and taking back control of our country. We spoke about how ordinary Namibians were being disadvantaged by systems that benefited a small group of people.
So why should those same principles suddenly disappear when the people benefiting from the system are black?
I don’t think Job Amupanda is perfect. No politician is. He can be criticised and questioned like anyone else. But disagreement with his methods should not turn into hatred for challenging things that deserve to be challenged.
Because some of the things we are still dealing with in Namibia should genuinely embarrass us.
In a free and independent Namibia, why are children still being taught under trees?
Why are children still living in some boarding schools without proper sanitation or reliable access to clean water?
These are not impossible problems to solve.
Namibia has a relatively small population. We are not trying to provide these basic necessities to hundreds of millions of people. These are problems that should be within the ability of a functioning government to address.
Yet some of these issues continue year after year.
And perhaps the reason is simple: the people making the decisions are often not the people experiencing the consequences.
If your child is attending a well-resourced school, you might never understand what it means for another child to sit under a tree trying to learn.
If you have clean water at home, you might never think about the child who has to live without it.
That distance makes it easier for problems to be ignored.
So before we automatically hate the person standing at the front and asking uncomfortable questions, maybe we should listen to what he is actually saying.
Job Amupanda is taking the hits upfront. Whether you agree with everything he says or not, he is putting himself in a position where he gets attacked for challenging people and systems that many ordinary Namibians are also frustrated with.
He is, in many ways, the man in the boots at the front of the line.
We don’t have to worship him. We don’t have to agree with every political position he takes.
But we should be able to recognise when someone is raising issues that matter.
The goal should not be Job Amupanda winning.
The goal should be Namibians winning.
Better schools.
Clean water.
Proper sanitation.
Fair opportunities.
Responsible leadership.
And a government that remembers that public resources belong to the public.
So, for a moment, adjust the hatred.
Look beyond the individual.
Look at the issues being raised.
Because if we genuinely want a better Namibia, we cannot keep defending a system simply because the people benefiting from it happen to be our own.

I have recently bought a paratus sim card, but it has little to no connection in wanaheda.

Is it this bad in other locations within WHK?

What do I do with a sim card that can't call, text or connect to the internet.

Is it a me or them issue?

Eu falo a partir de Luanda-Angola, quero chegar a fluência do inglês, por isso, acredito ir num país que tenha a Língua inglesa vai me ajudar com a imersão, a princípio queria ir à África do Sul, mas temi pela xenofobia que oiço e vi nas redes sociais, sendo ainda muito jovem com inglês muito básico talvez não seria uma boa experiência, daí optei fazer o intercâmbio na Namíbia e se a experiência for boa, vou me arriscar a fazer lá a universidade.

Deixo o post para sugestões, dicas, conselhos, e principalmente quanto a centros e oportunidades.

E como é a vida lá, há oportunidades? É um povo receptivo?

E principalmente a situação da via como é? Pretendo ir por via terrestre, ainda por estes dias.

Hey, the title is pretty self-explanatory.

I'm 19, and I want to go to vocational school next year for welding and metal fabrication but my mom and dad say if I go for that they'll not finance it so I have to save up for it myself.

My exams end in late October, so I want a job for the holidays to try and save up for my vocational. I just want some suggestions for jobs?

I'm not good at the academic stuff, I'm not a social media person. I do better at technical or organising work. I also have no work experience.

Any advice will help. Thank you.
