Die Reise führte uns von Windhoek nach Swakopmund, nach Utusep zu der Schule, an der Dr. Hausburg, Frau Charlotte Herzog und ich im Jahr 2001 die Einweihung des Speisesaales und der beiden Hostels für die die Jungen und Mädchen vornahmen. Wir weihten dort zwei weitere Schulräume ein, die aus Geldern anlässlich meines 70.ten Geburtstages gesammelt wurden. Gebaut haben diese zwei Klassenzimmer Lehrlinge von NIMT (Namibian Institute of Mining and Technology) unter der Leitung von Herrn Ralph Bussel, der heute als 2. Mann bei NIMT arbeitet. Bedankt haben wir uns bei den Lehrlingen und bei Herrn Bussel mit einem Mittagessen in Swakopmund. Das Team hatte hervorragende Arbeit geleistet. Weiteres können Sie aus dem Reisebericht von uns beiden lesen. Es war eine sehr gute Veranstaltung. Weiter fuhren wir nach Otjikondo, wo wir herzlich willkommen geheißen wurden.

    DEUTSCH-NAMIBISCHE ENTWICKLUNGSGESELLSCHAFT E. V. 2 0 1 0 der Deutsch-Namibischen Entwicklungsgesellschaft e. V. DEUTSCH-NAMIBISCHE ENTWICKLUNGSGESELLSCHAFT E. V. 1. Vorwort des Präsidenten Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren, liebe Förderer der weiteren positiven Entwicklung Namibias, die DNEG konnte 2010 die Erneuerung und teilweise Erweiterung der bisher betreuten Schulen und Schulheime (Hostels) dank Ihrer Hilfe in Angriff nehmen. Wir sind jetzt in enger Zusammenarbeit mit bengo/BMZ (Bundesministerium für wirtschaftliche Zusammenarbeit und Entwicklung) dabei, Hoachanas und Gqaina für künftige Aufgaben „fit“ zu machen. Dazu gehört auch, dass wir den Einsatz von Solar-Stromerzeugung, die zurzeit in Namibia in der Startphase ist, in unsere Pläne einbauen. Hierfür wird es allerdings noch vieler Abstimmungsarbeiten bedürfen, bis wir den nachhaltig richtigen Ansatz gefunden haben. Wir danken den GNDS-Vorständen Nicko Brückner und Klaus von Klitzing für ihren besonderen Einsatz dabei. Das Problem der Instandhaltung unserer Bauten und Einrichtungen wird natürlich durch den tech- nischen Fortschritt nicht kleiner. Wir versuchen daher, durch die Angliederung einer Werkstatt an die Hostels die allgemeine Instandhaltung zu verbessern. Gleichzeitig soll durch den Einsatz der nach Klasse 7 abgehenden Schüler und Schülerinnen zur Hilfestellung bei diesen Arbeiten und der generellen Pflege der Einrichtungen ein Erfahrungsstand an Fertigkeiten vermittelt werden. Mit dessen Hilfe haben sie eine bessere Chance auf dem Arbeitsmarkt. Wir leisten dadurch einen Beitrag zur Reduzierung der Arbeitslosigkeit. In diesem Zusammenhang bedanken wir uns für das Angebot vom NIMT (Namibian Institute of Mining and Technology), die Werkstattleiter für eine solche Tätigkeit in Ferienkursen auszubilden. Wir hoffen, mit dieser Aktivität beispielgebend für die vielen Bemühungen zum Kampf gegen die Arbeitslosigkeit der Schulab- gänger sein zu können.

But He is not coming. So we will wait forever for the liberation of Namibia.” I told him, “For sure, the Lord will come, and Namibia will be free.” -Pastor Zephania Kameeta, 1989 On June 30, 1971, risking persecution and death, the African leaders of the two largest Lutheran churches in Namibia1 issued a scathing “Open Letter” to the Prime Minister of South Africa, condemning both South Africa’s illegal occupation of Namibia and its implementation of a vicious apartheid system. It was the first time a church in Namibia had come out publicly against the South African government, and after the publication of the “Open Letter,” Anglican and Roman Catholic churches in Namibia reacted with solidarity.

  • Afrikaans As Lingua Franca in Namibië, Ca. 1800–1920
    LitNet Akademies Jaargang 7(3) – Desember 2010 Afrikaans as lingua franca in Namibië, ca. 1800–1920 Gerald Groenewald Departement Historiese Studies Universiteit van Johannesburg Summary Afrikaans as lingua franca in Namibia, c. 1800–1920 Afrikaans is the mother tongue of a sizeable group of speakers in the Republic of Namibia, where it also serves as a lingua franca among speakers of different languages. This article investigates the establishment, spread and use of Afrikaans as a lingua franca in precolonial and colonial Namibia until the annexation by South Africa, when the language achieved official status. Afrikaans was introduced to Namibia at the turn of the 19th century by the Oorlams, Westernised Khoikhoi groups who mostly used a form of Dutch for communication. During this same period, missionaries started to labour among the Oorlams and the indigenous Nama of South and Central Namibia, which led to greater stability in the local communities. Due to the greater socio­economic and political power of the Oorlams, their language became the prestige language which was increasingly used by both the Nama and other groups with whom they came into contact. During 1810–1840 Afrikaans spread as a lingua franca over a large part of Namibia due to the hegemony of the Oorlams. From this period until the German annexation during the 1880s, Afrikaans was widely used for diplomacy, teaching, religion and trade by both mother­tongue and non­mother­tongue speakers. Although the German annexation led to the loss of certain higher function for Afrikaans, the language remained being widely used as a lingua franca, a position which was strengthened by the arrival of the Basters and European farmers from South Africa from the 1870s onwards.
