Abstract

After Namibia’s independence in 1990, the country was divided into new administrative regions. The aim of the reform was to abolish ethnic and racial segregation from the regional administration. The borders of the colonial administrative region Owambo or Ovamboland were also revised. Ovamboland was divided into four regions: Omusati, Oshana, Ohangwena and Oshikoto. They cover a larger area than the old Ovamboland district. Because this study concentrates on the time before Namibia’s independence, the term ‘Ovamboland’ refers to the colonial administrative area established as early as the German colonial period (1884–1915).
