Headline Home of Damara Family in Namibia

Caption Description Home of a Damara family in Katutura, the black township that serves as a reservoir of labour for Windhoek, the capital. Under the South African Government's race classification laws, the black townships are not just separated from the white towns they serve but also segregated within themselves into tribal compounds. The houses are marked on the doors with the tribe's initial. Hence D for Damara, street 28, house 21.

Namibia (formerly called South West Africa) was a German colony in the late 19th century. In 1918 at the end of the First World War the territory was taken over by the League of Nations and administered under a mandate system, as ""a sacred trust for the indigenous peoples"" by the Union of South Africa. In 1947 the Government of South Africa refused to place the territory under the United Nations Trusteeship System along with other former mandated territories in Africa. In defiance of numerous UN decisions the South African Government continues to refuse to withdraw from Namibia. It has imposed its policy of apartheid and will not allow the UN Council for Namibia to take over and guide the territory towards independence.
