University Abstract The Herero/Nama Genocide (1904-1908) under German colonialism in Namibia is the first genocide of the twentieth century and has stirred debates around reparations for historical injustices. Reparative Justice has evolved into a victim-centric pillar of justice, in which perpetrators are legally and morally obligated to pay reparations in its several forms to its victims, including material and symbolic reparations. This thesis is a case study of reparations claims for historical injustices, specifically colonial genocide and explores such claims as a political process.

  • The Ovaherero/Nama Genocide: a Case for an Apology and Reparations
    European Scientific Journal June 2017 /SPECIAL/ edition ISSN: 1857 – 7881 (Print) e - ISSN 1857- 7431 The Ovaherero/Nama Genocide: A Case for an Apology and Reparations Nick Sprenger Robert G. Rodriguez, PhD Texas A&M University-Commerce Ngondi A. Kamaṱuka, PhD University of Kansas Abstract This research examines the consequences of the Ovaherero and Nama massacres occurring in modern Namibia from 1904-08 and perpetuated by Imperial Germany. Recent political advances made by, among other groups, the Association of the Ovaherero Genocide in the United States of America, toward mutual understanding with the Federal Republic of Germany necessitates a comprehensive study about the event itself, its long-term implications, and the more current vocalization toward an apology and reparations for the Ovaherero and Nama peoples. Resulting from the Extermination Orders of 1904 and 1905 as articulated by Kaiser Wilhelm II’s Imperial Germany, over 65,000 Ovaherero and 10,000 Nama peoples perished in what was the first systematic genocide of the twentieth century. This study assesses the historical circumstances surrounding these genocidal policies carried out by Imperial Germany, and seeks to place the devastating loss of life, culture, and property within its proper historical context. The question of restorative justice also receives analysis, as this research evaluates the case made by the Ovaherero and Nama peoples in their petitions for compensation. Beyond the history of the event itself and its long-term effects, the paper adopts a comparative approach by which to integrate the Ovaherero and Nama calls for reparations into an established precedent. Keywords: Ovaherero, Herero, Nama, Namibia, Southwest Africa, Germany, genocide, Lothar von Trotha, Kaiser Wilhelm II Introduction In 2006, the Honorable Kuaima Riruako, then the Paramount Chief of the Ovaherero people, delivered an address before the Namibian Parliament.

  • National Reconciliation and the Land Question in Namibia
    CCK-7 INSTITUTE OF CURRENT WORLD AFFAIRS National reconciliation and the land uestion in Namibla Casey C. Kelso c/o Woker Travel P.O.Box 211 Windhoek, Namibia April 30, 1992 Peter Bird Martin Executive Director Institute of Current World Affairs 4 West Wheel ock Street Hanover, New Hampshire, USA 03755 Dear Peter: Post-war reconciliation in Namibia and its opposite can fleetingly appear in small, almost unnoticeable interactions on the streets of Namibia's capital city of Windhoek. These seemingly insignificant actions reveal a great deal about the mixed progress in changing basic attitudes that underlie relations between 85,000 whites and 1.3 million blacks in a country fostered under the apartheid racism of South Africa. Some of the spontaneous reactions of Namibia's people encourage me. A yellow Opel Kadette stalls on Independence Avenue, the city's busiest street, during the lunch-hour rush. A young white man leaps off the curb to help the black driver push his disabled vehicle into a parking spot a few yards away. In the bustle outside a large office building a few blocks down the avenue, a gray-haired, pale-skinned matron in a long green dress and pearls pauses as she walks past a black beggar sitting on the pavement. The miserable man stretches out his hand clutching a cup. He hopefully rattles it, but she quickly disappears into a "take-away" food shop a few doors down. Both his hand and head fall back into a despondent huddle. The woman is back moments later with a yellow plastic bag full of food.

  • The Homecoming of Ovaherero and Nama Skulls: Overriding Politics And
    i i i The homecoming of Ovaherero and i Nama skulls: overriding politics and injustices HUMAN REMAINS & VIOLENCE Vilho Amukwaya Shigwedha The University of Namibia [email protected] Abstract In October 2011, twenty skulls of the Herero and Nama people were repatriated from Germany to Namibia. So far, y-ve skulls and two human skeletons have been repatriated to Namibia and preparations for the return of more skulls from Germany were at an advanced stage at the time of writing this article. Nonetheless, the skulls and skeletons that were returned from Germany in the past have been disappointingly laden with complexities and politics, to such an extent that they have not yet been handed over to their respective communities for mourning and burials. In this context, this article seeks to investigate the practice of ‘anonymis- ing’ the presence of human remains in society by exploring the art and politics of the Namibian state’s memory production and sanctioning in enforcing restrictions on the aected communities not to perform, as they wish, their cultural and ritual practices for the remains of their ancestors. Key words: Skulls, Herero, Nama, genocide, Germany, Namibia Introduction Until 1919, today’s Namibia was ocially the colony of German South West Africa (GSWA). This came as a result of the 1884/85 Berlin Conference, which formally recognised Germany’s right to operate in and colonise the territory that it renamed GSWA.1 German colonial occupation of this territory, which was renamed Namibia in 1968, lasted from 1885 until 1919, when Imperial Germany was defeated in the First World War and subsequently lost her colonies in Africa.
