About Namibia
The Republic of Namibia gained its independence from South Africa in 1990 after a long struggle in which the global Lutheran community played a key role. Only 7% of Namibia’s 2.055 million people speak English, the official language. Afrikaans is the common language, while German is spoken by 30% of inhabitants. Between 80 and 90% of Namibians are Christians, of whom half are Lutherans. The other 10 to 20% of the population practice native religions.
