Namibia - Rebirth of a Nation - [Produced by Kevin Harris - 1990]

[@leenaamwaalwa3567]

Thank you for sharing this. It's sad that most deserving heros and heroines of this country don't get the recognition that they deserve, even after 31 years of independence. One can only hope.

[@faithfullypenny]

We need to bring back programmes such as the Saamstaan self help projects. It was a good initiative. People are equipped with the skills,provide machinery and the people will do the rest. We cannot all afford homes but together we can build our own. Long live Namibia ✊🏾

I really like history so, thank you for uploading this. I’m sure I’m not alone in believing that Namibia actually has a brighter future than South Africa (whose main curse remains that the people inherited an advanced economy that they’ve only seen as an entity to loot from thereby ruining their futures).

[@glenvanzyl8985]

Hmm disagree

[@josephnakale7343]

It unfortunate that somepeople wished the status our continues,yes we are still facing many challenges just like anyother countries.

The war of Angola and Cuba army's against the regime of apartheid army in Angola granted the independency of Namibia and the freedom of Nelson Mandela without any condition. This agreement was known as the tripartite accord, three power's accord or New York accords in 22 December 1988

Let us thank for God for helping our leaders to free our nation...FOR APART FROM GOD, WE CAN DO NOTHING..

Namibia had the highest ratio of paved roads per capita in the world, under RSA administration. There was a high level of employment. Health care and schooling were better than the rest of Africa. It's so hard to be oppressed! Well 30 years later, under the wonderful SWAPO regime, unemployment is still over 20%, inequality is stark, and the police are brutal. And don't expect us to believe journalists, they are all disciples of Goebbles (If you repeat the lie often enough, it will become the truth.) Journalists are supposed to report the truth, not invent it.

[@oscardelta1257]

So 20 years after this documentary what is Namibia like now?

[@denysmkhize2379]

Quite nice, actually. Thanks for asking.

[@Enzo-zy2cq]

The government is in a state of dismay. Poverty is sky rocketing and education is at its lowest i believe even though it was made free. In the past 2-3 years people have really seen the damage swapo is doing to the countries economy and now they use soldiers as a form of scare tactic on the public. Next 5 years are going to be test for the namibian public as a whole

[@josephnakale7343]

Answers to this question always depends on individual perspective, to those who went through war whether inside or who were outside the country may give a different Answers,reasons being that,Namibia they knew before independence is totally different from Namibia of today.We made much strides as far as developments are concerned, however challenges are still there.

[@echohunter4199]

I know that the communists took over this country and made everyone equally miserable and starving. So why did SA occupy those positions all those years? It’s because of the constant attacks into SA from Namibia that were also supported by Cubans. Africans have shown they’re completely incapable of self governance and some countries actually want the whites to come back. Our biggest mistake was trying to help Africans and stop the constant tribal slaughters they did to each other, take a look at Rwanda as an example.

[@mhasino]

where are they now, any update?

Rebirth????? please tell me more about this one

[@6912305277]

Today's enemy may be tomorrow's friend. War is a ugly business, with no real winner, for both sides suffer losses.

[@mardiffv.8775]

Just a question, Mr. Harris: Why is Gay sex forbidden in Namibia?

[@josephnakale7343]

So to you gay should be part and parcel of development? Is always better to ask relevant questions, but not this one, as we have more important and pressing issues to deal with than that.

[@bryanhurd9955]

How are things going there?? as good as south africa 👌

The Namibian Rugby Team was a good team having wins over Wales and France not long after independence. It would be good to see that happen again. I played under Gerhart Mans who was introducing the players to PM Geingob. The country has many talented players, one has to remain optimistic for both the sport and the country as a whole, won't be easy even after many years of independence it will take generations. I'm neither black, coloured, white or Namibian that is coming from a New Zealander who lived in Namibia just over 20 years ago.

Apologies, it was Ireland I believe not Wales

Namibia is no more independent today than she was in 1989 europeans own all the good land control the resources and the economy what namibia has is flag independence

[@andrewdutoit9571]

@Bobby E. Wright Well, to get anywhere you must get off your backside and work. How else do you think of becoming prosperous? To complain that the Whites own everything, to get you have to work harder than they do.

Europeans are not permitted, by law, to own land in Namibia. White Namibians, yes. Who is the racist now?

Notice how he didn’t bother to respond? They will ALWAYS blame someone else for their problems, it’s very common for low IQ nations. One thing these folks are,good at is making mud huts.

Things haven’t changed one bit but this little propaganda “documentary” is leaving out some huge details about how they treat their own people while those in power live large. SA was able to keep these morons at bay for years with minimal effort since SWAPO had zero tactical abilities and relied on human wave attacks which is pretty comedic from my point of view.
