Seeing a mirage is not a strange event to Namibians. Living in the world’s oldest desert prepares you to not be shocked by unnatural visual effects and strange hallucinatory happenings on ones’ horizon. Namibians respond to seeing a city in the distance with, ‘Oh ja, ho hum. Nice definition for a mirage’.

Yesterday I was pushed back on my heels in absolute wonderment. I found a human ‘oasis’ in blogosphere. Mind you, it was not any ‘oasis’.
I had stumbled across a group of extremely rarely sighted and elusive Namibian bloggers at a corner of blogosphere called Facebook.

I could not believe my eyes when I saw the list on Facebookof 852 wonderful, beautiful, young, enthusiastic and vibrant Namibians collected proudly into a group of enthusiatic Facebookers and bloggers under a common group banner titled ‘Namibia’.

Namibia needs bloggers!

I agree 110 per cent with you, we definitely need more Namibian bloggers. I actually did a bit of research on the subject once and found that only one in every ten Namibians knew what a blog was. Quite sad really, especially since we can contribute a great deal to the blogosphere. Tales of insane cabbies and life generally in Nam… now that’s worth a read.

Yes quite sad that of the 850 odd Namibians registered at Facebook less than 100 could be active bloggers.

There is a gap that needs filling. But how?

And the tales they could tell…….wowzer!
