Living in Namibia
Namibia is a southern African nation, with its entire Western border along the Atlantic Ocean and its land bordering Zambia, Angola, Botswana and South Africa. It almost shares a unique border with Zimbabwe, with no actual land border but less than 200 metres of the Zambezi River separating the nations. Up until 1990, Namibia was under the control of South Africa, under apartheid rule. Before South Africa, the country was colonised by Germany and suffered similar abuses in 1904 to 1907 in what is often referred to as the first genocide of the twentieth century. But since independence the country has transitioned itself into a democracy to move on from its difficult past. Geographically, Namibia is the driest country in the sub-Saharan Africa region, as it is situated between the Namib and the Kalahari deserts. Its coastal desert is one of the oldest in the world, and has large dunes created by strong winds; the coastal and marine resources of Namibia are relatively underexplored but could be highly useful for Namibia. Instead, Namibia’s economy is largely focused on mining, agriculture, manufacturing and tourism. A large proportion of the population relies on subsistence farming, but GDP per capita is five times greater than Africa’s poorest countries; this is perhaps explained by the large urban economies, but equally the large cashless rural economies exist. Aside from this, ecotourism and other forms of tourism are vital in contributing 14.5% of the GDP and over 18% of employment.
