According to the FAO, around 42% of arable land was owned by Whites at the time of independence in 1990. Most Angolan-born Portuguese settled after Angola became independent in 1975.Ībout 4,000 commercial land owners, mostly Whites, own around 50% of the arable land across the country despite a land reform process. Most Afrikaners settled during the Dorsland Trek, as well as during the existence of apartheid. History ĭuring Namibia's German rule, the colony attracted German immigrants. The 1981 census of the Republic of South Africa reported a White population of 76,430 in Namibia (71% Afrikaners and 17% German-speaking). Apart from Windhoek, coastal areas and Southern Namibia, there are large White communities in Otjiwarongo and towns in the Otavi Triangle, such as Tsumeb and Grootfontein. In general, most of Namibia south of Windhoek has a high proportion of Whites, while central Namibia has a high concentration of Blacks. Other coastal cities, such as Walvis Bay and Lüderitz, also have large White communities. Windhoek has by far the largest White population, and Whites are a majority in the coastal city of Swakopmund. The vast majority of White Namibians live in major cities and towns in central or southern Namibia.
