I am deeply moved. deeply indeed. I wish many of us have a chance to watch this video, "Namibia tell the world". If we could still be honest and united like in those years when all the masses of our country stood against the evils of apartheid and colonialism, this land of our ancestors was going to be more prosperous to all. Our people were solidly United and spoke with one voice across the length and breadth of this land. The one who were abroad and those heroic sons and daughters with no distiction of tribal alignment had spoken. Schools must start showing these videos to our kids to have true understanding of who we are. My heroes, unsung heroes of this soil. They have fought a just and heroic war. Their sacrifices have dismantled the sophisticated system of apartheid. But now, why shoul we still hear ourselves refering each other to "A, B or C" tribes or whatever in a negative light? please watch, spread the message and let everyone awake to the reality of who all are. We all have contributed, in our diverse ways, in or outside the country. The struggle was bitter. Viva the heroic struggle of the brave people of our soil! THEIR PRECIOUS BLOOD WATERS OUR FREEDOM!

During the 1980's in North America, we saw next to nothing about Namibia. But starting in late 1984, there was regular, sometimes nightly coverage of South Africa until 1994. I vaguely remember seeing a National Geographic Program about the Bushmen. Another time, some group (political/peace activist type) showed some short documentary on Namibia thru Public Access channel operated thru cable service(There was no internet service then). Don't remember seeing many people in that documentary. Just natural background and maybe a few villages. I first heard the word Namibia in 1983. On a news program thru public access, there was a group that came on the show to discuss Namibia. They also were openly raising funds for SWAPO. In the 70's as a High School student, I knew Namibia on the map as South West Africa. On one map, I remember under South West Africa underlined as disputed. Another, I believed on globe map, undelined as-administered by South Africa. Having been recently to South Africa, Zimbabwe, Zambia, I started to become more familiar with the region. Glad to see this and other programs on Namibia.
Dear Jerry Hannon, thank you very much for this comment! I am a Namibian student at the University of Basel, and I currently writing my MA thesis on Namibian film, including this one. I find your information very important and useful to my thesis. Could you tell me more about your experiences in the 80s? If yes, do send me an email at wkanyimba@gmail.com Kind regards, Winnie
I pray for total liberation of all African countries and all of its decendants...this race has suffered since the beginning of time and in many cases we are still suffering whether we are on the African continent or dispersed throughout the world.

Johann Giesbrecht I agree with you!! It Was The Americans, And The British That Backed The Afrikaner Occupation Of Namibia, Not The Germans!!!
please love your white
neighbors, I love all color people black white yellow brown, God loves them all. Wherever love is with people, I feel at home, skin colors make no difference, we learn from the past and forgive the bad things people have done.
Johann Giesbrecht My Comment Was Not Of A Racial Nature, But Of A Political One!!!
Very emotional!

Beloved motherland, one Namibia ...one Nation. Jackson's Kaujeua 6:44, may his soul RIP.
Bience Gawanas my former teacher in Cuba 1978
I don’t know how old this documentary but Namibia has had it’s own government since 1991. Maybe time to stop blaming others?
The documentary shows how life in Nam was before independence it's not about blaming others. Please educate yourself.
I am so amazed on the history of Nambia how one race can be so evil and do such to Africans...
education is the key .......
I love my country no matter what they said ...I will not ret our Namibian county goes down hahaha!!!!!!!!!!!
Lol are u wambo
welcome to opuwo !!!!!!!!!!!!
What nonsense! Namibia owes it's very existence to the South African Army!
How long has Namibia had a Black Government? Since 1991 -and you are blaming White people for the state of your country now??? Grow up Africans!
Nope we owe it to Cuba and Angola South Africa was weak
