 An estimated 4,1% of Namibia’s population are Coloureds. Namibian coloured community, numbering just over 50,000, has its origins in the Cape Province of South Africa, although a large percentage are descendants from local intermixing. Almost all of them use Afrikaans as home language and subscribe to the basic principles of the Christian civilization. While a small group of Coloureds practice stock farming in the south of the country, most of them live in towns such as Windhoek, Keetmanshoop, Luderitz, Kalkveld and Karasburg. A large community lives in Walvis Bay, where they are fishermen.
