Introduction
My name is Nginga de Villers, I graduated in Policing and persued my studies in Business and Entrepreneurship, I am currently studing my Bachelor's in Criminal Justice at the Namibian University of Science and Technology.
On a certain day of September in a certain year, around 04H00 the buses started as I traveled to Tanzania by route, belive me it was a very bad experience. From the City of Windhoek itself we drove through the republic of Namibia to Zambezi region with Marcopolo as we crossed into Botswana through Ngoma border. Botswana is a somewhat, but less impressive country, with very depressing roads, there was even a time I felt the bus was going to touch the soft shoulder and tilt over, but thanks to God that did not happen. At exactly 18H00 we arrived at Kazungula Border Post, Believe me I was so reliefed, little did I know that Zambia had a lot much worse to offer, there was a site I will never forget when the bus got stuck on the tired road, we came out to see what seemed to be the problem when I was extremely shocked, I don't know whether to refer to it as a pot whole or perhaps just blame it on nature and say there was possibly an earthquake, it was a very deep part of the road that have been pushed down by industrialised trucks extremly heavy loads. We spent four days on the road in Zambia making our way to Tunduma, the border between Zambia and Tanzania. In this four days although hectic, I observed quite fascinating sites that have been long forgotten in Namibia, because we have become to modernised. Zambia is an industrialised centred nation, who believes in Agriculture, its people work harmoniously towards a common goal, and that is to eradicate poverty. Their cooperation has made it easier for their government to intervene and promote their already existing practices which they practice within their respective houses, and as members part of a community.
Zambians culivate their crops in the respect of their homes and only purchase basic needs such as cooking oil, salt and others which they can not cultivate for themselves, allowingthem to save more than they spend. I also observed that though they don't have deserts within their country they have rivers that ran dry. But that don't stop them from cultivating it only encoutages them to do more. They have gardens of pine trees that they harvest as timber for annual harvests, they maintain its population by planting pine trees as much as they harvest. It was really a site to see. As I arrived at Tunduma, it was by morning, I made my way into Tanzania by foot as I had my passport stamped, I could not believe my eyes at first There it was 'Bajaj' a three wheeler motorbike that I have only seen on Tv, and not just in any movie, it got its fame from the indian DSTV channles 'Zee World', 'Starlife', 'Bollywood Movies' and Indian movies on youtube, this time it was almost everywhere at the round about. I so amazed, but we had to board the bus and proceed to Dar es Salam, we spent two full days on the road before we reached Dar es Salaam. On route I observed things that are inspirational, the idea of business itself. Tanzanians live to make money, be it day or night, they daon't have a time frame, they don't know the difference apart from Dark and light else it is business as usual. To such an extent that it had me thinking "do they even sleep?" honestly I don't know. I was introduced to Kariakoo, Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, a market like one that you have never seen, evrything and nothing isn't there. from foods, spices, clothes, material, suits, designer material, motor vehicles, motor bikes its all there. Believe me they inspired me to write this article today. so that I will reach maybe one if not a dossen hearts and minds to change your mindsets, and think not only on how you can develop yourselves, but taking into account the position of the country and your fellow country men. I have a river of experiences already flowing, but for this article this is where I end. I will post again soon. Be a proud country man, and believe in your country all times.
