Hi Ivy
Its good u started this thread, Fellow Namibian here, seems we are two or more here now.
I Normally post in South Africa or Sunny South Africa, because of our relativeness.
I hope we talk about things here.
You heard about that Horrific Road Accident that took 17 lives? It is so scarring, I think we should be praying more about our roads, they are taking so many lives.

Thanks for joining. I hope more Namibians will join so we can have our own discussions, relevant to our country. We should work on introducing more people to CF!
I agree with you, we really need to pray. It is only the beginning of the festive season, and already we lost so many lives, around 23.

MY KNOWLEDGE OF NAMIBIA
South Africa occupied the German colony of South-West Africa during World War I and administered it as a mandate until after World War II, when it annexed the territory. In 1966 the Marxist South-West Africa People's Organization (SWAPO) guerrilla group launched a war of independence for the area that was soon named Namibia, but it was not until 1988 that South Africa agreed to end its administration in accordance with a UN peace plan for the entire region. Namibia won its independence in 1990 and has been governed by SWAPO since. Hifikepunye POHAMBA was elected president in November 2004 in a landslide victory replacing Sam NUJOMA who led the country during its first 14 years of self rule. Geography Namibia
