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.
