🇿🇼 Zimbabwe
People from Zimbabwe in Namibia meet here, city by city. Each community is a neighbourhood, not a crowd, so if yours is missing, start it.
According to the United Nations, 16,100 people from Zimbabwe live in Namibia.
Therefore Namibia ranks number 8 among the destinations of the Zimbabwe diaspora.
In total, 1,510,000 people from Zimbabwe live abroad, and about 1% of them live in Namibia.
However, the figure counts migrants, not their children born here. The real community is therefore larger.
No community for people from Zimbabwe exists in Namibia on Compatri yet. However, one first member is enough to open one in their city.
As soon as a community starts, its meetups show up on the events page, with the date, the venue and the number of attendees.
Compatri follows cities such as Windhoek, and each one can host its community.
There, the largest diasporas also come from Angola, Germany, South Africa, the DR Congo, and China, according to the UN. Each one has its own page on Compatri, with its cities and meetups.
Compatri brings diasporas together where they live. First, you choose the community of your city. Then you discover what its members organise: meals, parties, afterworks or mutual aid. Finally, you message compatriots who share your interests.
You can also host your own meetup: a meal, an outing or a party. It then appears to members of your city, and you follow sign-ups from your account.
Your exact location never appears: other members only see an approximate area. In addition, joining a community and attending events costs nothing.
Every April 18, the national day brings the Zimbabwe diaspora together. Locally too, communities organise concerts, meals and gatherings.
According to the UN, about 16,100 people from Zimbabwe live in Namibia. Their children born here do not count in this figure.
Communities start where members sign up. If your city is still missing, suggest it: a community often begins with a handful of neighbours.
Join the community of your city on Compatri, then attend the meetups its members organise. You can also host your own event.
According to the UN, the largest ones come from Angola, Germany, South Africa, the DR Congo, and China.
Zimbabwe Independence Day falls on April 18. In Namibia too, the diaspora celebrates it every year.
No. Joining your community, discovering nearby members and attending events stays free. The Starter and Advanced plans only add features to go further.
Elsewhere, the Zimbabwe diaspora also lives in South Africa, the United Kingdom, and Mozambique. Each country has its own page, with its cities and meetups.
