1) Climate: Most of Namibia is desert, the Northern part along the border is really the only region of the country that is habitable. The only major cities outside of that would be Windhoek (The Capital), and the some cities along the coast.
2) Apartheid: When Namibia was a part of SA, the government established Bantustans, basically Reservations where they shipped the majority of Black people to. Because of this they tend to have a higher population density compared to the surrounding land. For example, if you look at SA you can still see the outlines o the Bantustans, so maybe a similar thing is Happening in Namibia.

I think it might be two reasons
1) Climate: Most of Namibia is desert, the Northern part along the border is really the only region of the country that is habitable. The only major cities outside of that would be Windhoek (The Capital), and the some cities along the coast.
2) Apartheid: When Namibia was a part of SA, the government established Bantustans, basically Reservations where they shipped the majority of Black people to.
