Ondangwa in Namibia NAMIBIE namibia. ondangwa Informations and links Ondangwa Map Ondangwa Photos Ondangwa ------------------------------- Ondangua, also spelt Ondangwa, is a small town in the far north of Namibia, close to the Angolan border. Before independence this area was known as Ovamboland, and recently it has been split into four regions: Omusati, Oshana, Ohangwena and Oshikoto. Here, for simplicity, I will refer to the whole area as Owamboland. During the summer Owamboland appears quite unlike the rest of Namibia. It receives over 500mm of rain and supports a thick cover of vegetation and extensive arable farming. The Owambo people are Namibia’s most numerous ethnic group, and so since independence and free elections their party, SWAPO, has dominated the government. Much effort is now going into the provision of services here. There are two of these main arteries through Owamboland: the B1/C46, and the smaller C45. The small towns that line these roads, like trading posts along a Wild West railroad, are growing rapidly. (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..
