Oshakati is a town of 37,000 inhabitants in the Oshana Region of Namibia. It is the regional capital and was officially founded in July 1966. The city was used as a base of operations by the South African Defence Force (SADF) during the South African Border War and Namibian War of Independence. Oshakati is considered to be the largest town and capital of the northern area known as Ovamboland.
Oshakati contains the electoral constituencies of Oshakati East and Oshakati West.
In Oshiwambo, the language of the Ovambo, the town's name means "that which is in between", although some believe that the name (Oshakati, also Otshakati) was used to refer to the Tower, tallest freestanding structure downtown. Oshakati is one of Namibia's largest cities and it is located near the B1, Namibia's main highway, which stretches from South Africa through the capital Windhoek and on to the Angolan border. The Oshakati town, (popularly known as 'Otshakati tsha Nangombe' by the native Kwambi people) is within the Kwambi traditional authority.

Compiled by: Francios Olivier ----- Lack of knowledge in the field of indirect tax and tax at large could result in complications on the financials of individuals or companies. Errors in taxation could turn out a costly mistake at the end of the day. Leading Professional Services Provider PriceWaterHouseCoopers today launched a publication called 'Guide to Namibian VAT' that targets not only Tax Leaders and Advisors in understanding local tax policies, but it also shares knowledge on the subject with the ordinary person.

Communal tourism is still in the fledgling stages. However, an increasing number of indigenous people are starting to take fate into their own hands by getting actively involved in the tourism industry. One such example is the Ongula Traditional Homestead Lodge near Ohangwena. Built alongside an active homestead, Ongula is the first lodge in Namibia to introduce visitors to the authentic, traditional lifestyle of the Ovambo, the largest cultural group in the country. Stopping over at Ongula is a definite "must" when travelling the area north of Etosha National Park. More details http://ongula.resdest.com - a KKM.tv production

Top Pics of Rundu - "Okakuejo water hole" by Das1601 from a blog titled "Namibia - Bushmen and animals" Excerpt: "We have now have two weeks in Namibia, a vast, sparsely populated desert country, formerly colonised by the Germans. It is not like any of the other countries we have been to so far, the people certainly arent as freindly and there is a lot more western style development. Hopes were raised when we stopped for a few hours at a western style shopping mall that I could buy a few books and much needed toiletries. However, the mall was mostly empty unit...

Days 213 to 217 were spent crossing Namibia as quickly as I possibly could. As you know if you've been watching this travel channel, I had a week deadline to get from Livingstone to Swakopmund, Namibia. To get there, I had to drive my little scooter about 1600km across Namibia. It wasn't an easy ride, despite the roads in Namibia being absolutely fantastic. I had so many lingering mechanical issues on the scooter that I spent way too much time in different shops. In fact, at one point I almost lost my whole engine because the engine mount lost all it's bolts. I have no idea how it stayed on. Luckily, I met a guy in Otjiwarango, Namibia who spent the night with me working, welding, an rebolting the bike back together. Finally, after crossing the Kalahari and it's incredible winds,...

[Chorus:]
(Suffa with Pressure)
I got
Hundreds of people asking me, getting pissed with me
And dissin me
Literally blasting me, asking me
When the Hoods' new album's gonna drop
And where it is, well here it is
Man I got
The mic in front of me, peeps to the back of me
Pressure to the right of me
And soul inside of me
I got a variety of rhymes (I rock the spot)
I got notoriety of rhymes (talk about what I got)
[Verse 1: Pressure and Suffa]
A sense of pride so lets just ride off my anguish
Have the sense to slide and coinside with my language
I got microphones and my piece of mind
Despite my closure, get a piece of mind off my problem piece of rhymes
I got my own view, my own reflection in the mirror
I got enough noise to make micky loud, I scream I hear ya
I got plenty of mates (and I've got plenty of enemies)
And I've got plenty of hate (for the many bad memories)
I got energy thats translated into speech
When I'm (packing beats, beats, beats)
The beats on my acca make the world go round
And then I put it on my (rollin, rollin, rollin)
Roll the sequencer, two seqencer
Track format
And mate I gotta speak with yer
I got problems with my wage try'na make ends meat
I guess it's either getting paid or respect on the street
I got envy and jealousy, you're planning on telling me
To drop a new LP because the melody's remedy
I got my own shadow that
Follows me in footsteps
I've had enough people worrying about the props that the Hoods' get
So why not, worry about what you've got
Cos I got, enough of that old fly rock
To make your girlfriends thighs rock
Check what I got
Her own hands between her legs
Had a tap like a keg while you were drinking the dregs
Just pull the styles fine, told her to lick her fingers
Answer up the bass line, hook from Charlie Mingers
And lingers in the track makes you believe in God when
Suffa's so fat I guess I got a weight problem
I got a squadron of b-boys ready to break em' off
I break em' off then and then, from a cut of me costing
I got you at a loss when you give it up for charity
Got clarity, I spose I get exposure like a gallery
I got a four door car and a three room home
I got weekly repayments on a two grand loan
I got one life to live and no second chances
And mates that are writers and ryhmers of break dancers
Clothes on my back and friends that I trust
I got flows that are phat and a heart full of lust
I got a sense of pride, I got agility and speed
Emence ability, man I got everything I need
I got three Hoods, the closeness for three times the dopeness
See even if the nature cant get the situation is still hopeless
I got my notice from non-composers, from their posters
I suppose, so once I come the dopest
(And you notice)
I got a mic thats my companion
My hood labels me champion
Where here to get your publishes with you, we're undermanned
I live a life thats demandive but still got positivity
I got to explore each and every posibility
Hip Hop is feeling me its going straight to my head
(Like those seizures when I rap I'm taking grape juice and Sudafed)
If you can get brews then I got ryhmes
I got a cavalcade of battle rage to I got mine so
(Get thrust, cause other MC's can't deal with us)
I feel a must to get what I haven't got, a stagnent rock is
Filling my ears and getting more play than Clatterol
(I got a sense of direction and a compass
Drive past MC's with no compassion, though I heard the scream sounds)
