I feel comfortable to be called QUANZA. BONIFATIUS is my first name and WAKUDUMO is my surname.
The name QUANZA was given to me by my parents because in the 1990's my parents both Mom and Dad were travellers to the SADC (South African Developing Countries) In Angola, Namibia's neighbouring country to the North, the currency is Kwanzaas, and mostly that was the money they used and they came up with the name QUANZA..
The popular career in Namibia is farming. That's what the majority of people are concentrated on in their career. Teaching and other careers are where is where the minority work.
Poverty is a huge problem in Namibia. It creates a struggle for some to live, it brings a bad hearted person to be not good at all. It’s difficult to obtain something but some who struggle under poverty find ways to make a living. For example, some people take something which doesn't belong to them, and even without the owner's permission.I have experienced a 12 year old boy younger than me who ended up stealing. All this happened because of poverty. It was during a winter season, the boy never had a parent to take care of him and usually he walked bare foot, cracks formed under his foot. That day he was feeling extremely cold on his feet, and he decided to go in a shop and took a pair of shoes and put them on immediately and walked out of the shop. On his way out to the door the security saw all and the boy was caught and he was in a big trouble...
