Katima Mulilo in Namibia NAMIBIE namibia. katima-mulilo Informations and links Katima Mulilo Map Katima Mulilo Photos Katima Mulilo Population on 27-Aug-01 : 22694 ------------------------------- Katima Mulilo is a small town that serves as the administrative center of the Caprivi Strip of Namibia. Located on the Zambezi River, it was established by the British colonial authorities in 1935 to replace the former German town of Schuckmannsburg, which was the regional capital when Caprivi was part of German South-West Africa. The town has a population of 22,700 (2001). In August 1999 the town suffered from raids by Caprivi separatists, forcing about 20 thousand people to flee to Botswana. The Katima Mulilo Bridge spans the Zambezi River here, taking the TransCaprivi Highway to Sesheke. (From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.) 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..
