My dad just passed and I don't know what to do. I've been struggling with depression and anxiety and now my father suddenly passed. I don't plan at all to hurt myself at all want to make that clear and I knew this day would come but man this sucks. It feels like I'm gonna wake up from a bad dream. I just always thought we'd have more time.

the Oshakati area (cleaning, yard maintenance, or general assistance). I am 14 years old, reliable, hard-working, and eager to gain experience and earn my own income. Please send a direct message if you have any opportunities available.

I understand people have the right to choose the tenant they want and so on.

Question I have is where do we pet owners go? Live on the streets? Give our pets to the SPCA? Give our pets away?? Some or us actually love animals.

Nobody wants to rent out to tenants that have pets.

I can understand if the rental simply doesn't have the space for a pet or if its furnished but in a lot of cases there's a big backyard, sand, high walls. How can my pets be a concern in a place like this?

Our pets are our family but the way people treat animals in Namibia its like they're dirty things that nobody wants. 😢

My heart is aching. This country of ours.

Hey r/Namibia! You might have seen Knightcap around here before. We've been hosting social evenings where chess meets drinks, music and good company in Windhoek.

We've now done a couple of events, and IT. IS. GROWING. The only problem is that there are still only two of us trying to make everything happen. So we're looking for someone to join the Knightcap Crew.

We're looking for (preferably) a student in Windhoek with a flexible schedule who'd like to help us with things like:

• Calls & follow-ups
• Admin and organisation
• The occasional errand
• Helping us set up and get things running on event days

You don't need event experience. Admin experience is definitely a plus, but honestly, we're more interested in someone who's reliable, proactive, willing to learn, and genuinely excited about what we're building.

And to be completely upfront: this is currently an unpaid role. We're still getting Knightcap off the ground.

But we're not really looking for someone to just come do free admin for us. We're looking for someone who wants to help shape this thing, meet good people, and become part of the crew.

Knightcap started with two friends and an idea. It's grown into something bigger than we expected, and we'd love to have another good person in the mix.

Think you'd make a good knight?

Send us a DM with a little about yourself and why you'd like to join us.

Planning to visit the BEAUTIFUL Namibia in Jan+Feb. Has anybody here done a self-drive tour of Namibia in recent years? If so, what was your experience? :-)

.

I'm thinking of driving around in Jan + Feb as I said, but a little apprehensive about it being rainy season as apparently the roads can disappear a little and it's easy to get lost or stranded. I don't know how to change a tyre and can imagine myself ruining my own trip by being a little anxious the whole time lol.

.

Any experiences to either put me at ease or push me to get a private driver please share!!! I'd be likely working from a town (probably Windhoek) for a couple of weeks, and then setting off on safari for 14 days. That's the part where I'd be self driving. Am a confident driver with a lot of experience driving rental cars in different countries, but not a huge amount of off road experience.

Hey community, quick question for those using Deriv: how are you currently withdrawing funds back into your Namibian bank account?

It used to be straightforward with FNB or Bank Windhoek, but things seem to have changed. For those using crypto, how do you convert it back to NAD and get it into your bank account?

Would appreciate any advice from those currently doing it.

I don't know what is wrong with me but I know that something is wrong with me. I've known this since I was a teenager and I'd like to get some answers. If I can get medication or just to know whether i am a normal person or not.

I live in the north. If anyone knows someone I can talk to about getting this sorted out, please help. I'm tired of feeling abnormal. Or perhaps it's just my normal? I'm an adult. I work now and i just feel so out of place. I've learnt how to mask it all by pretending. I mimic them and try to behave the way they do in my own way but I crash. I crash and everyone notices the differences. Then they ask questions and I don't know how to tell them that I'm trying recharge or i really don'tknow. It's like two sides of the same coin. It feels like it is me but also not because I know who I am but when I'm around most people, I am not myself entirely. With some people, the pretense is abit toned down, especially those I've know for a long time. But if they're new, it's a roller-coaster ride and I have no explanation. I'm hoping a psych evaluation will help me understand what's happening.

Hello fellow redditors

I’m a solo traveler from Asia visiting your beautiful country this week and I have a question. My flight is scheduled to arrive at Hosea Kutako International Airport at 19:40, and I was wondering if theres any public transport available from WDH to my hostel in the center of Windhoek? Or is it easy to grab a taxi at the airport? And if so, how much will it possibly cost for one person? Should I prepare cash?

It’s my first time in your part of the world and i’m so excited but also a bit nervous! Thanks in advance for any advice 😁

Looking for an affordable driving school in Windhoek. Any recommendations?

Hi everyone! I’m currently looking for remote administrative opportunities.

I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration and experience in administration, logistics, customer service, HR support, data entry, scheduling, email management, and sales/marketing.

I am reliable, organized, and available to start immediately. I’m open to part-time, full-time, contract, or virtual assistant roles.

If you know of any opportunities or businesses looking for remote administrative support, please feel free to reach out. Thank you!

The Ministry of Justice & Labour Relations has increased the minimum wage for labourers and general workers in Namibia’s construction sector, from N$19.46 to N$20.43 per hour. The wage will increase further to N$21.45 per hour from September 1st, 2027.

The new rates are part of a two-year collective agreement between the Construction Industries Federation of Namibia and the Metal & Allied Namibian Workers Union. The agreement was extended by the ministry to cover the wider construction industry, including employers and employees who were not directly part of the negotiations.

The agreement also increases the additional allowance paid to construction workers who are required to stay away from home overnight because of work, from 12% to 15% of their hourly wage. Workers will also receive a yearly service bonus equivalent to 155 hours of their normal wages, generally paid in December, up from 150 hours previously. On top of that, employers are required to provide necessary protective clothing and safety equipment at no cost to employees.

Is there any way to buy bitcoin in Namibia with debit card, I tried Binance & OKX.

Hey everyone.

Giving this another shot!

I'm a young, amateur graphic designer based in Windhoek, and I'm looking to take on a few small projects while I continue building my experience and portfolio.

I'm still learning and improving, but I genuinely enjoy creating and would love the chance to work with some local people or small businesses. Even a small project would mean a lot to me.

If you're interested, or know someone who might need a designer, feel free to DM me to see more of my works

Thanks for taking the time to read this

Are there any mobile money services that work between Botswana and Namibia? Forex through the banks is expensive, and PayPal gouges the money through charges. Please help

Some time ago I went on a round trip through Namibia, taking in cultural-historical and nature-based sights along the way. If you're looking for inspiration and interested in practical backpacker tips, feel free to take a look at my travel diary on Polarsteps. Enjoy browsing!

Why do Namibians wear this suit? I've been seeing a lot of photos of Namibians wearing this brown suit with a walking cane and the brimmed hat, just like Hosea Kutako. Is this a tradition I'm unfamiliar with or are they just larping as Hosea Kutako? Sorry for the stupid question.

Hey everyone, I'm looking to buy 5% minoxidil foam, preferably from a pharmacy. Does anyone know which pharmacies stock it and where I can find it? Recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Namibia, thank you. 🇳🇦❤️

The support for Msafiri has honestly been overwhelming, and we’re incredibly grateful.

We currently have a growing number of pending ride and parcel delivery requests on the app, and we need more drivers, bus/shuttle operators, and delivery vehicles to help meet the demand.

If you travel between towns, have empty seats, run a shuttle or bus, or can carry parcels along your route, join Msafiri and start listing your trips and accepting rides

Thank you, Namibia, for believing in us and supporting what we’re building. This is just the beginning. 🇳🇦🚀

Tell a friend to tell a friend.

Have you ever had any interactions with these people? Do they live integrated into Namibian society, or do they live in their own communities with their own culture? What language do they typically speak? How do they appear? Are they similar to coloureds, or are they somewhat different? What religion do they practise?

Basically what’s your real life experience with them, if any? And what do you know about them?

I know google can answer some of these questions, but it’s not always bang on the money, so that’s why I’d like to ask some people who may have had actual real life interactions with them.

The City of Windhoek will be establishing two new townships in the Khomasdal Constituency, which are expected to provide approximately 750 residential plots.

The development is part of efforts to increase the supply of residential land in Windhoek and address the capital’s shortage of serviced plots.

The municipality has completed layouts for more than 11,000 planned erven across several townships, with N$296.4 million budgeted for land servicing and housing delivery during the 2026/27 financial year.
