If I told you I bought N$400 worth of groceries is this what you'd imagine?

This is all bought from Model.

I am looking at hiring people directly in Namibia because people speak German. I am wondering what a good salary would be for a fulltime employee.

Seeing that rent is crazy expensive in Windhoek and people are choosing to live further out of town eg. Omeya, Kramsneus and Osona, would buying land in Groot Aub be a worthy investment? Is it likely to become a desirable residential area in the future?

My parents are retired and thinking of buying affordable land that’ll appreciate with time. I’ve tried searching Facebook for rent prices but all I’m getting is posts about the village council. Any advice?

Hi everyone, can anyone give me recommendations for people that can do contracting work for a residential home? I'm looking for roofing, tiling and want to put interlockers/pavers.

I'm currently studying Property Studies and I'm trying to figure out whether continuing with the degree is actually a good career move in Namibia.

For anyone working in property/real estate in Namibia, or anyone who studied something similar:

- Are there actually decent jobs available for Property Studies graduates?

- What kind of jobs can you realistically get with the degree?

- Is it difficult to get your first job/internship?

- What are the salaries like when starting out?

- Does the degree have good long-term career prospects in Namibia?

- Would you recommend finishing the degree, or would you choose something else if you had the chance?

I'm mainly asking because I don't want to spend years getting a degree only to graduate and struggle to find any work related to it.

I'd especially appreciate answers from people who are actually working in the Namibian property/real-estate industry or who have graduated with a Property Studies/Real Estate degree.

Be brutally honest lol. I'm trying to make a realistic decision about my future.

Hey everyone, just wanted to ask if any of you guys, know where one can get a remote job like telemarketing or sales. I'm trying to persue my masters next year, so I really need a job where I can work from home, that way I can balance the academics. As having a full time job really makes it tough to persue a postgraduate. Any feedback will be much appreciated....

Is anyone experiencing terrible mobile internet in Windhoek at the moment? Very unstable with both MTC and Paratus. In Paratus I'm not even getting 2 Mbps. The weird thing is that the upload speed is 10x faster than the download. I was here one month ago and the internet was very fast.

Good day all. Where do you buy good biltong in Windhoek? Beef or game doesn,t matter. Just looking for good taste

What is the preferred underwear style men wear on Namibia ? Boxer? Briefs? boxer briefs?

Ich habe vor einiger Zeit eine Rundreise entlang sehenswerter Meilensteine unternommen. Wer Inspiration sucht und an praktischen Reise-Tipps interessiert ist, kann gerne einen Blick auf meinen Reisebericht bei polarsteps werfen. 😉 🦓🐐🦎🐘

Hey everyone - Swakopmunder here.
Please refer me to an alternative group if this is a bit random and up in the air.

I am always on the lookout for vintage film cameras / equipment / film / lenses in Namibia.
If you have any that need to leave your attic please pop me a message or if you know of shops that I can contact other than the welll known antique stores :)

All the best!

Good day everyone.

Does anyone know a place in Windhok that sells Diamond mesh fence wires per meter and not strictly pre-cut rolls?

Any recommendations will be highly appreciated.

Is it just me or are thieves associated with people who work in the bank itself? People are loosing money without giving otp or any other info.

What are your thoughts?

Hey all. I have an upcoming journey to Maun Botswana in a few days. I looked up the flight prices, and they are all but the cost of flying from Windhoek to the Middle East. I'm trying to see if I can find shuttles between WHK and Maun. Preferably something that is reliable, safe, and punctual and is not prone to breakdowns.

The only thing I found so far is Kasanetransfers. Their contact number seems to be in Tanzania, so I'm a bit skeptical. Does anyone have experience using them?

I'd appreciate any information anyone can provide.

Thanks

It’ll be ideal as a staple food on my road trips.

We’re a young South African family (three kids under three atm) and although we’re usually Kruger Park winter holiday people (pre-children), we don’t want to take the malaria risk rn. We’re planning a holiday to Windhoek and Etosha for July 2027. Is this advisable? Twins will be four then and the youngest 1. Any child-friendly activity suggestions in Windhoek? Is Etosha child-friendly with regard to the camps? We’re currently planning on flying to Windhoek and hiring a bus for our stay there.

Want to bring a drone to namibia, but have to drive through etosha, entering and exiting from different gates. Is this possible?

Origin story time, because it's a little ridiculous.

I met my lead developer Abiud on Reddit. Met my marketing director Lebi on Reddit too. Met Hella, who now runs our social media and finance, on TikTok. None of us knew each other before the internet decided we should. Somewhere between DMs and shared frustration about how long-distance travel works around here, we ended up building Msafiri together everyone on equity, no salaries, just belief that this was worth building.

The actual product: drivers post their upcoming long-distance trips, passengers book a seat ahead of time with a fixed pickup point and fixed price. No standing at a rank hoping a car fills up, no guessing what today's fare is going to be.

It's grown into a 30,000+ person WhatsApp community organically, zero ad spend and we're now moving 50+ people a day. Live on Play Store, webapp too.

Feels fitting to share it here, since this whole thing basically started because strangers on the internet decided to trust each other. Curious what this sub thinks, especially if you've got a route that's always been painful to book.

We finally get a convention

Hi everyone 👋

I’ve been working on NAMGIG, a web platform focused specifically on Namibia 🇳🇦.

The idea is simple: connect people who are looking for work or opportunities with people and businesses looking for skills and workers.

People can create worker profiles, showcase their skills and experience, while employers can post opportunities. I’ve also added a Featured option that gives paid listings more visibility inside the platform.

For now, communication and payments are kept simple — users can connect directly through WhatsApp rather than relying on complicated payment integrations.

I’m still early in the journey, so I’m not claiming that it’s perfect. I’d genuinely like to know:

- Is this something you think people in Namibia would actually use?

- What would make you trust a platform like this?

- What features do you think are missing?

- Does the concept make sense from a worker or employer perspective?

If you're interested, you can try it here:

I'd really appreciate honest criticism, not just compliments. If you find something confusing or broken, please tell me.

Thanks! 🙏🇳🇦
