DRIVING THROUGH OKAHANDJA NAU-AIB TOWNSHIP OKAHANDJA NAMIBIA SOUTHERN AFRICA PART 1

Video of driving through one of townships in Namibia - Nau-Aib/Five Rand Camp, located just outside of small town Okahandja in central Namibia. This is the first part of three. #OkahandjaNauAibTownship #CentralNamibia #SouthernAfrica Okahandja: http://www.namibweb.com/okahandja.htm Five (Vyf) Rand Camp is an informal settlement outside of Okahandja, located north of Windhoek in the Okahandja constituency of the Otjozondjupa region of Namibia. "Vyf rand" is an Afrikaans phrase that translates to "five rand". The name originates from the initial rental fee of five rand per month tenant farmers paid for a small plot of land on large farms in Namibia. Home of one of the poorest communities in Namibia, Vyf Rand camp has been the focus of various social projects: a primary school, a soup kitchen, and HIV/AIDS awareness programs. The settlement was a filming location for Where Others Wavered, a film about the life of Sam Nujoma – Namibia's first president – touted as "one of the country's most ambitious film projects". The community of Five Rand got it's name when the farmer who owned the land charged people five rand ( U.S. 50 cents) a month to live there and use his water, at the time Namibia was under mandate of South Africa. The land now belongs to the city of Okahandja, and plots can be purchased for 700 to 900 US$. Most people however never achieve ownership and just set up their tin home on whatever plot is available. Five Rand is not just a place where people have their homes, but there are also many business, churches, a few preschools, and one primary school. For the last thirty years an informal settlement on the outskirts of Okahandja has retained the name Fyf Rand Kamp – Five Rand Camp. While residents were preparing for the festive season in Okahandja, 70km north of Windhoek, fifteen Oshiwambo-speaking construction workers completed their contract with the Department of Water Affairs (now called NamWater) at the Von Bach dam and found themselves without a place to live. They approached the owner of a nearby plot, a Mr Andries Pretorius, to request permission to stay on his land with their families. Mr Pretorius was sympathetic. Realising that it was the municipality’s responsibility to assist them, however, he accompanied them to the Okahandja municipality to ask for assistance. Their plea fell on deaf ears. The municipality informed the men that there was no space for them and that Mr Pretorius was not permitted to let them live on his land, thus beginning a protracted dispute with the municipality. With no help from the authorities, Mr Pretorius allowed them to stay on his land temporarily. He had bought the plot with the intention of establishing feed lots, but had not yet progressed with his plan. At the beginning of the year, he approached the municipality again to request assistance for the group of workers but had no more success than the first time. He also contacted Water Affairs, and although they listened sympathetically, they were unable to offer any assistance. He allowed the men and their families to continue staying on his land. After a while, he requested R5 from each person per month to cover the costs of supplying water. It wasn’t long before people began to refer to the camp as Fyf Rand Kamp.
