Tsumeb Namibia

Tsumeb (Otjiherero name: Okavisume) is a city of about 15,000 inhabitants and the largest town in the Oshikoto Region in northern Namibia. Known as the “gateway to the north” of Namibia, it is the closest town to Etosha National Park. Tsumeb was the regional capital of Oshikoto until 2008, when Omuthiya was proclaimed a town and became the new capital. The area around Tsumeb forms its own electoral constituency and has a population of about 44,113. The town is the site of a deep mine—historically known simply as “The Tsumeb Mine,” now renamed the Ongopolo Mine—whose lower workings are now closed.
