HISTORY

Ombalayamumbwwenge is a village in the northern part of Namibia. It is 956 miles (956 km) north of Windhoek. It is located in Ondonga-Omulonga Constituency. It is situated just north of Oshigambo village and south of Ondobe.

This village was named after the King Mumbwenge that was staying in that village. It has 180 homesteads with an average of 5 people per homestead. it is believed to be the biggest village in Omulonga Constituency. The inhabitants in this village have homesteads made of tree poles cut in the forest found in Onandutu area. But due to the high growth rate, suitable trees are now becoming scarce, and the forest is slowly but surely being destroyed, which has led the new generation planning to build houses to use alternative materials, such as bricks, mud, thatch, mesh-wires, etc. Ombalayamumbwenge is rich in fertile soils, thus they depend on farming for survival.

Their farming activities include mahangu cultivation, herding cattle, goats and donkeys, but the village usually receives poor rainfall, and thus they have difficulties in keeping sheep and horses, although they are found in very low quantities.

These community has numerous kindergartens, no primary school, one combined school, Mumbwenge combined school and no high school. The closest high school is Oshigambo High School. They have numerous soccer fields, one volleyball field, one netball court and thus soccer, netball and volleyball are the only recognised sports in the village. Currently, the power supply reaches the combined school and cucashops, but plans to extend it to each homestead are in progress, and more development is to be started after this.
