Kamanjab in Namibia NAMIBIE namibia. kamanjab Informations and links Kamanjab![]() ![]() ![]() 1 hotel in Kamanjab Map Kamanjab Photos Kamanjab ------------------------------- Like many Namibian towns that appear as a large dot on the map, they turn out to be very small with not much more than the essential facilities of a petrol station, liquor store and a couple of grocery shops. Kamanjab is no different with dry dusty streets and a few houses with well tended gardens. If you are in need of a foreign exchange you could have a problem here as I did when I asked a local, “Excuse me, where is the bank?” He answered, “Next Tuesday!” The most unusual sight you will see in town, is a local Herero women dressed in her national costume. Overzealous German missionaries found the locals so scantily clad that, for the sake of propriety, they dressed them up from ankle to neck (with full under-petticoats) in Victorian garb. 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. Independence came in 1990 following multi-party elections and the establishment of a constitution. President NUJOMA is currently serving his third term as president..
