Suidwes-Afrika | Südwestafrika | South West Africa

In Treue fest, Südwest!
Südwestafrika (Afrikaans: Suidwes Afrika; Englisch: Southwest Africa) war die Bezeichnung Namibias während seiner Verwaltung durch Südafrika in den Jahren 1918 bis 1990.
Zeitlich wurde diese Periode der Republik Namibia gefasst durch das Ende der reichsdeutschen Kolonie Deutsch-Südwestafrika (18841918) und die staatliche "Unabhängigkeit" des Landes (seit 1990).
Die ehemalige deutsche Kolonie wurde 1919 ein Mandatsgebiet des Völkerbundes und unter Verwaltung der Südafrikanischen Union gestellt. 1946 wurde das Gebiet offiziell in ein Treuhandgebiet der UNO umgewandelt, was den Einfluss der Weltorganisation erhöht hätte, dieser Schritt wurde jedoch von südafrikanischer Seite ignoriert, die darauf begann, das Territorium de facto als Teil ihres Staatsgebietes einzugliedern. So bekam die weiße Minderheit das Recht, eigene Vertreter in das Kapstädter Parlament zu entsenden.
Die UNO entzog 1966 der Republik Südafrika das Mandat über Südwestafrika und stellte es zwei Jahre später unter dem Namen Namibia de jure unter eigene Verwaltung. Nachdem der Internationale Gerichtshof 1971 die fortdauernde südafrikanische Präsenz als unrechtmäßig verurteilte, begann ab Mitte der 70er Jahre unter starkem internationalen Druck ein Transitionsprozess, der schließlich 1990 zur Unabhängigkeit der Republik Namibia führte.
Die Verwendung der Begriffe Südwestafrika oder Südwest wird im heutigen Namibia nach wie vor geschätzt. Sie werden aber auch, besonders von im Ausland lebenden unkundigen Zeitgenossen, als Zeichen für einen nostalgischen Umgang mit der deutschen Kolonialzeit sowie der Zeit der Apartheid gedeutet.
Suidwes-Afrika is 'n land in suidwestelike Afrika, aan die Atlantiese kus. Dit word deur Angola en Zambië in die noorde, Botswana in die weste, en Suid-Afrika in die suide begrens.
Suidwes-Afrika was van die laat 19de eeu tot by die Eerste Wêreldoorlog 'n Duitse kolonie en is daarna deur Suid-Afrika geadministreer. "Onafhanklikheid" was in 1990, wat Namibië een van die jongste nasies ter wêreld maak.
Die amptelike taal is Engels, maar omtrent 60 persent van die bevolking kan Afrikaans praat. Die Namibiese staat erken alle tale, alhoewel net Engels ampstaalstatus het. Duits is naas Afrikaans die mees gebruiklike taal in Suid- en Sentraal-Namibië, met tussen 20 000 en 30 000 moedertaalsprekers en enkele honderdduisend mense wat dit as tweede taal kan praat. Duits speel nog steeds 'n belangrike rol in die Namibiese ekonomie en toerisme. Ook die topografie van Namibië word deur baie Duitse plek- en straatname gekenmerk.
South-West Africa (Afrikaans: Suidwes-Afrika; German: Südwestafrika) was the name that was used for the modern day Republic of Namibia during the earlier eras when the territory was controlled by the German Empire and later by South Africa.
As a German colony from 1884 it was known as German South-West Africa (Deutsch-Südwestafrika). Germany had a difficult time administering the territory, which, owing to the Germans' native policy, experienced many insurrections, especially those led by guerilla leader Jacob Morenga. The main port, Walvis Bay, and the Penguin islands had been annexed by Britain as part of the Cape Colony in 1878, and became part of the Union of South Africa in 1910.
During 1915 the region was taken from German control in the South-West Africa Campaign of World War I. After the war it was declared a League of Nations Mandate territory under the Treaty of Versailles, with South Africa responsible for the administration of South-West Africa, including Walvis Bay.
In 1966, the General Assembly passed resolution 2145 (XXI) which declared the Mandate terminated and that South Africa had no further right to administer South-West Africa. In 1971, acting on a request for advisory opinion from the United Nations Security Council, the ICJ ruled that the continued presence of South Africa in Namibia was illegal and that South Africa was under an obligation to withdraw from Namibia immediately. It also ruled that all member states of the United Nations were under an obligation to recognize the invalidity of any act performed by South Africa on behalf of Namibia.
South-West Africa became known internationally as Namibia when the UN General Assembly changed the territory's name by Resolution 2372 (XXII) of 12 June 1968.
There was a protracted struggle between South Africa and forces fighting for independence, particularly after the formation of the South-West Africa People's Organisation in 1960, communist backed terrorists.
The territory became the independent Republic of Namibia on 21 March 1990, with Walvis Bay only becoming part of Namibia in 1994.

[@MatjanTutul]

The locals were good-natured and colourful. I admired their language skills and appreciated their services as cook, driver, nanny and washerwoman. They were always polite and obedient. I sometimes gave them a little extra. Il also loved watching their tribal dances. I think that people of colour are by nature more deferential. It seems that colonial rule brought out the best in them. The present generation seem to be less well educated. Or perhaps you had a difficut relationship with your masters?

[@laysslayysslaays]

South West Africa is Nambia not South Africa. Just informing idiots in the comments. Also South Africans also have a large German heritage and also French. After the 1700's 3000 Germans came to live here. Mostly men who married Dutch and French woman. So our ancestry isn't mainly Dutch like most people want to claim.

[@warriorman1708]

Die Deutschen und Italiener waren die diplomatischsten von Kolonisten und haben auch sogar die Eingeborenen vor den Engländern, Franzosen und Spanieren, Portugiesen, Belgier und Niederländer beschützt.

[@jaymylotto8134]

Yes, it is. Research has shown it was about 60% Dutch. And the "German" contribution wasn't that German either. They were mostly from border regions "Grensduitsers". They did not speak German when they came to Holland to work for the East and West India companies. They spoke local dialects that were closer to Dutch than they were to German. Germany did not even exist as a country. When the border German component is included in the Dutch, it's more like 80% Dutch. There are many people in Holland that have a German or a French ancestor, yet none of them claim to be ethnically Germans or French.

[@KazualBopthKatze]

@@warriorman1708 While that is correct, things like the Mau-Mau Rebellion and Herero Genocide DID happen anyway. The Germans would burn the earth Post-Rebellion, causing mass starvation in Ost-Afrika which killed up to/over 350,000. Herero was quite literally the precidcesor to German use of "Concentration Camps", mainly on Shark Island (there was a Death Camp where German colonials/officers would experiment and test on Native Africans). TLDR (nah not really): Yes and no. I can't even make the claim that the Germans were the least brutal of the bunch. Sure the Belgians and British (probably the French too) can claim #1 Bleeder of Africa, but the Germans weren't good... nobody was. Colonialism was Colonialism, they made the land they inhabited look good with the intention of staying their as long as they pleased. The German Colonial forces would kill, burn, and push out the natives the same as everyone else. Paul von Lettow Vorbeck is still a kickass General though.

[@IustitiaPax]

What exactly do you mean with "European leadership"? As a born and raised African (spanning quite a few generations back), I can tell you that no African (black, white, pink, green, whatever) will stand for any sort of "leadership" from Europe. I am white, but I am not a European. And if you mean white leadership, I can assure you there are some white people who are really useless and who I would not want as part of our government. Competence. That's all we ask for - in any colour.

[@kadiadekapes8163]

The White people came from Europe and their ethnicity, culture, language and mentality is that of european nations. White africans are seen as Europeans or Euro-africans in africa as well. Being against european leadership dosent mean being negative about your own European culture and ancsestry and also shouldnt since it wouldnt make any sense. If that would be the case, the logical explanation to why they are not european, then how you explain all the Revolutions of european nations against their own country's leadership/government? Further more citizens of african descent are also being called Afro-Americans in the USA for example, making them and others aware of their african descent and and mixing it up with their brown skin colour and sometimes even supposedly unique culture. Or Afro-Germans from Germany. Afro-Brits in Britain, Afropanese in Japan etc... So why not making yourself and others aware of your european descent when living in Africa, also when being born there and living there since generations. You also maybe could make aware of your families original nation, not just mixing your identity with Europe as a whole. But I guess thats hard to because they have a variety of descent from different european nations because of mixing. But that white africans are White is obvious and stupid to just call them that, leaving completly aside their unique cultural heirtage.

The singer is the german "Heino". very sad, that the germans in Namibia did stay to this melody, the rhymes allegedly texted in 1937. I don't know yet, when the rhymes to Wehrmachts "Panzerlied" (Song of nazi-german tank troops) had been made. I did sing it while in boyscouts in the seventies in Karibib/Namibia... Bah!! It's making me sick. But not to underestimate: Namibia made it to a democracy without too many deaths. Keep on!! Gute Pad!! Stefan from germany

Waldschrat44 This version was sung by Gé Korsten, a South African tenor.
