Namibia, oficially: the Republic of Namibia is a coutry on the western seaboard of Southern Africa. Its capital and largest city is Windhoek (German: Windhuk) and the country gained independence from South Africa on March 21st 1990. Namibia ranks amongst the three African nations with the lowest populatons. The majority of the popluaton belongs to the the Owambo tribe, which forms about half of the population and are concentrated in the north of the country. In addition to the Bantu majority, there are large groups of Khoisan (e.g. Nama and Bushmen), who are descendants of the original inhabitants of Southern Africa. There are also two smaller groups of people with mixed racial origins, called 'Coloureds and 'Basters', who together make up 8% (with the Coloureds outnumbering the Basters two to one). Whites of Portuguese, Dutch, German, British and French ancestry make up about 5% of the population (about 85,000) which is the second largest proportion and number in sub-Saharan Africa, after South Africa. Half of all Namibians speak Oshiwambo as their first language, whereas the most widely understood language is Afrikaans. Among the younger generation, the most widely understood language is English. English is the official language with Afrikaans and German recognised as regional languages. Christianity is the major religion, with the Lutheran Church being the largest then followed by the Roman Catholic. The traditional staples of Namibian cuisine are corn or millet porridge served with meat or fish stews. However, the German tradition is strong in Namibia (its having been a former German colony) and local dishes tend to be heavy on paste, meat and vegetables such as potatoes, cabbage, celery and rice. As might be expected from the admixture of German traditions hams and sausages also feature quite heavily in the diet. Shellfish dishes are traditionally served with corn-based breads. Like most of Southern Africa braais (Southern African barbecues) and potjikos (a hot stew of meat, Chicken or fish cooked over an open fire in a cast-iron, three-legged pot) are also a feature of the cuisine. |
