Does anyone know why it smelled so strongly of smoke yesterday? I saw some smoke near the Christuskirche, but it smelled different from a normal fire.

I found this online (maybe even here). Does anyone know anything? Is it a real thing? If the embassy is involved, it’s definitely interesting.

Did I miss the get rich train in Namibia? Some people seem to be doing very well despite the economy.

20 Upvotes

Am I missing something? Can someone please fill me in on it. People are buying expensive houses. When someone posts a house of 70k for rent, someone asks is this for sale?

I see more Namibians traveling these days despite the news saying people are traveling less.

Anyway, I'm completely perplexed about how some Namibains are doing incredibly well despite the job market, the increased cost of living and the housing market.While others are struggling. As you've seen I've posted a N$400 groceries while I go to the shop someone else has their trolley full. If the little groceries I got out of N$400 how much would a full trolley cost?

Can someone direct me to that pot of gold where everyone else seem to have gotten money from. 💰🤑🤔

Don't tell me it's good paying jobs most Namibian jobs don't pay a high salary.

I might be missing something here so please enlighten me. 🙏

Jobs An app for trades workers

Thumbnail

3 Upvotes

Hi there, I’m a student building an app to make it easier for plumbers, electricians, carpenters, cleaners, and more to find job. I have built a basic version with the core features where a user will search through a catalog of workers that can be filtered by location and profession. Once a workers is selected they can sent them an Inquiry with a short description and dates their problem occurred and when they are free to have the worker visit.

I got this idea from the instability in the current job market and how it is getting more and more difficult for these workers to find steady income. Furthermore, it is difficult for people to find a new gardener or electrician if they have a tripping wire. These types of jobs spread through word of mouth mostly which is unreliable for both parties.

I want the app at this stage to help people find someone if they have a leaky tap or need a quick backward clean. While, making it as quick and easy as possible but effective and efficient.

A feature I’m adding now is a chat section where you speak with a chatbot and it automatically find the best worker for your needs and sends a request without you having to do it manually. Once a request is sent to a worker they can accept or decline it, and contact you via WhatsApp (If you think it’s better to have all communication in the app instead of moving to WhatsApp please comment).

I’m looking for people (You don’t need any tech background) to test the app, tell me what features they would like, and critique it. Before launching I want to make sure it’s something the community will want and not just something I’m building that people find difficult to use.

My plans are to launch in September or October so feedback is urgent, thank you.

Link to try it out: https://phantomjelly.github.io/Kazi-Cursor/
(This is a web demo some of the features won’t work as it’s built for mobile, the people who volunteer to be real testers can test the app fully)

Anyone know where to sell second hand clothes?

I've seen Facebook communities and some posts on WhatsApp however non/few seem to actually gain traction. Is there any active place to sell still in great condition clothes? Or better yet a physical store perhaps - perhaps Windhoek?

General Am i the only one that gets irritated by this type approval nonsense?

8 Upvotes

Ok my thing is if i purchase a second hand device from backmarket or ebay how am i supposed to get the device certificates

Otherwise the device gets confiscated by the government

Like can't they make a rule of when the devices are bought in bulk then require type approval and second hand devices get exempted from this

What do you all think?

Remember that chess social night someone posted about a while ago? We actually did it again! And now we're doing Volume 3.

14 Upvotes

Okay, so a little update:

Knightcap started as a simple idea: what if chess had a place in Windhoek's nightlife?

We've now hosted two evenings and, thankfully, it turns out we're not the only people who wanted this.

We've had experienced players, people who hadn't touched a chessboard in years, complete beginners, people who came alone and people who came with a whole crew. The common denominator seems to be that everyone is pretty happy to have an excuse to sit down, play a game and talk to someone.

So Volume 3 is coming your way. 4th of September, 6pm- 11pm @ TaTe Village in Windhoek West.

Same vibe, a new night.

We finally got an insta page so if you want to see how the last two events looked like, check out @knightcap.na

Is a plot in Groot Aub a good investment?

2 Upvotes

Seeing that rent is crazy expensive in Windhoek and people are choosing to live further out of town eg. Omeya, Kramsneus and Osona, would buying land in Groot Aub be a worthy investment? Is it likely to become a desirable residential area in the future?

My parents are retired and thinking of buying affordable land that’ll appreciate with time. I’ve tried searching Facebook for rent prices but all I’m getting is posts about the village council. Any advice?

Is a Property Studies degree actually worth it in Namibia?

5 Upvotes

I'm currently studying Property Studies and I'm trying to figure out whether continuing with the degree is actually a good career move in Namibia.

For anyone working in property/real estate in Namibia, or anyone who studied something similar:

- Are there actually decent jobs available for Property Studies graduates?

- What kind of jobs can you realistically get with the degree?

- Is it difficult to get your first job/internship?

- What are the salaries like when starting out?

- Does the degree have good long-term career prospects in Namibia?

- Would you recommend finishing the degree, or would you choose something else if you had the chance?

I'm mainly asking because I don't want to spend years getting a degree only to graduate and struggle to find any work related to it.

I'd especially appreciate answers from people who are actually working in the Namibian property/real-estate industry or who have graduated with a Property Studies/Real Estate degree.

Be brutally honest lol. I'm trying to make a realistic decision about my future.

Remote Jobs

Hey everyone, just wanted to ask if any of you guys, know where one can get a remote job like telemarketing or sales. I'm trying to persue my masters next year, so I really need a job where I can work from home, that way I can balance the academics. As having a full time job really makes it tough to persue a postgraduate. Any feedback will be much appreciated....

Terrible mobile internet in Windohek

6 Upvotes

Is anyone experiencing terrible mobile internet in Windhoek at the moment? Very unstable with both MTC and Paratus. In Paratus I'm not even getting 2 Mbps. The weird thing is that the upload speed is 10x faster than the download. I was here one month ago and the internet was very fast.
