BEFORE THE EUROPEAN missionaries arrived, the Nama settlement here was known as Swartmodder (‘black mud’) which refers to the mud found at a nearby spring. In 1860, some 75 years after the appearance of the first white settler, the Rhenish Missionary Society started a mission here. They named it after a director in the society and someone who provided financial support, one Johann Keetman. These days Keetmanshoop is the economic centre of the Southern Namibia region, it’s also an important hub for Karakul sheep farming and houses a number of government offices.
