History Of Namibia

Namibia was taken over by the Germans in WW1. Early Nomadic tribes were pressured by Bantu speaking people more than 2,300 years ago.Germany lost authority of Namibia in 1920. Namibians spoke english. German Missionaries introduced Christianity in the 1800s,though some believe in witchcraft. Most Namibians value family. They mostly wear western-style clothing, and it is very important to have a nice, clean appearance. Greetings are important, too. Namibians use hand motions for various reasons. For instance, a hitchhiker bends a hand up and down at the wrist to hail a ride. Visiting among family and friends is an integral part of life, even for relatives who live far apart. Frequent visits maintain friendships and are reciprocated.  Most Namibians eat with western utensils, yet some eat with their right hand.
