We need to stop worshipping our leaders and thinking that they must be in power for life. We must 1st adopt the policy of a maximum of 2 terms for each leader. It doesn't matter how good or popular the guy is. after 2 terms max the guy gets the boot and another takes over, Only then will we see progress and prosperity.

I am a young Media Practitioner from and based in Botswana. We are direct neighbors with Namibia in Southern Africa. I must say this is one of the best documentaries I have ever seen telling an African story the way it is. In fact in my hometown of Mahalapye in Botswana, we actually grew up with the Herero people. They have a ward of their own called Herero not far from where I grew up. Our ancestors gave the land to their ancestors after they flee from Namibia fearing genocide attacks from the Germans. I literally grew up and schooled with these people. They are really passionate about their culture and work tirelessly towards preserving it. Big up to the producers of this documentary....

@@tefosouthside what are Botswana’s biggest problems? For example I imagine relying on South Africa electricity is a problem or will be soon. I also don’t understand why South Africans aren’t just going there to get away from the violence and corruption.

[@tefosouthside]

@@daggaboom Botswana's population is fairly small so Id assume not a lot of power would need to be generated, thats just an assumption btw. We do have the occasional power and water cuts but the government does a good job in informing citizens well beforehand even though in some places its a major issue, going months sometimes years with no water. I think the main reason South Africans dont relocate necessarily to Botswana is the lack of resources. People in SA are accustomed to a certain type of lifestyle and they probably think they cant get it in Botswana because SA is well developed and years ahead in terms of opportunity creation whereas in BW, its more of a continuing process. BW is like a big, retro town, slowly moving towards modernity and SA is like a major city thats been thriving but encountered some hurdles along the way but truthfully I couldn't tell you why they dont move here because most people from their side and our side are one and the same, related by blood and everything.

The exploitation of Africa is still ongoing to this day, that means the revolution for Africa's freedom must continue. It is surprising to see Namibia still have a colonial issue even after their revolution, what did the people achieve. All the leaders of Africa are the problem of Africa. Since the so-called independence not one African leader disbands one inch of their borders with their Neighbour's, and none have since got rid of the colonial laws they inherited, they used those same colonial laws and borders to rule and govern their people, that there should show you how serious they are about Pan-Africanism, Africa for Africans and only more Mali, Burkina Faso, and Niger can truly bring Africa its freedom especially when they can tell Europe and the west no more, no more go away

First of all I would like to thank the producers of this video,it assists to raise questions as to why a resourceful country with few occupants is still struggling. The way I see it as a Namibian,we are failing ourselves,we want to be given all the time,but we don’t want to work for it nor work together as Namibians. 1. We still have tribal issues 2. “Everyone for himself” attitude 3. Greed amongst Namibians 4. Government support system needs amendments And so much more needs to change. Did you know that majority of people in Katutura are coming from families that own farms?but they choose to abandon these farms and come to the city in search for jobs that end up exploiting them? (Just an observation). Us as Namibians we need to wake up and work together as one,if there is hunger..we must fight it together! For instance why are we not transforming our lands to build green schemes for the local people?what’s stopping us is ourselves.

[@decker625]

This documentary, which is good, does also inherently blame the colonials for present day problems. How were the German colonials involved in Fish Rot, or other corruption and cases of state looting? Sure there are present day issues which can be connected to colonial wrongs. But current management of the system, which is causing the income disparities, are not colonial vestiges. These are current problems perpetuated by current rulers. It's too easy to beat the dead colonial horse and use its skin to cover up our own present day ineptitudes. So in short, I agree with you. The problems we have now require introspection, about who and what it means to be modern Namibians and how we can solve our problems ourselves. No longer blaming others and using it as the easy path to justification of our situation.

The problem with Namibia, is similar to that of Zimbabwe and South Africa. There is a de facto one party State in each of these countries. The political parties which "delievered Independence have been in power from day one and feel that they are entitled to govern regardless of the results on the ground. The people come elections forget that nothing has changed for them and are coerced into voting for them. Once you start to vote for a different political party, and actually elect that political party then change will start to appear. The electorate has the power to demand change which benefits it and if it doesn't come it must change the govt. With the wealth Namibia has and the small population, Namibians should be living better than the Arabs in Dubai!!! Wake up brothers before it's too late.

Its sad to know how cruel people could be against any human being in any generation or any culture for power and money. May God sort us all out for our deeds in the end. But I wonder if the two guys visiting their ancestors grave understand later on in life that their ancestors couldn't hear nor see them for they are dead. Only God is aware of what's been taking place then now and here after.

We visited Namibia a few years ago, all the hotels and camps we stayed in were owned by Germans. What was socking is how horrible the Germans talked about the locals and how disrespectful they were to their employees. My husband was totally disgusted by the lot of them. I have to say what we saw was pure racism, not even in remote areas in America do people behave like that. Sad.

People tend to forget just like many Africa countries our Freedom was a negotiated freedom. The terms that were put in place made us(Natives) respect property rights and that means we the natives of the land couldn’t take back land and minerals that’s why German and Afrikaners own so much land . Many western countries have made it easy for their people to come here and own land and mines .Less we forget De beers(which was or is still owned by German Jews) which owns all the diamond wealth in my country .The Americans have stopped us from building a nuclear power station while we have some much uranium underground. Now my government is playing friendly with the Chinese cause the Western powers still have this Baas aka Boss mindset towards Africa still trying to control us .

[@r.mariano8118]

Don't hate the average white person. A lot of us actuallytry to integrate with African cultures. But, do consider who amongst europeans control so much wealth and their motives.

[@scsdcsdc]

Money from diamond should be used in part to help Namibian, the exploitation of resources is bad. I don't believe the problem is the color of the skin (all men are greedy) of who control the mine, the problem is taxation of those business activities by the government and control of the supply.

[@albertopansino6011]

I have just come back from a 2 week holiday across Namibia(including Rundu, Divundu and Katima). Germans still cover the key positions in the society. However curiously the worst run guest house I lodged in was managed by some Germans. At the same time I think that if for instance lands were run by locals I am not sure the productivity would be high and the same economy disaster occurred in South Africa would be seen in Namibia. Colonialism is a phenomenon that Europeans should be ashamed of, however between Windhoek and Swakop all the indications to zinc mines, lead mines, lithium mines are in Chinese. It was definitely not the Germans to have them handed over in concession to China. Maybe this is food for thought and people should think of who is governing the country who is not German definitely.
