Gobabis
Gobabis is a city in eastern Namibia. It is the regional capital of the Omaheke Region, and the district capital of the Gobabis electoral constituency. Gobabis is situated 200 km (120 mi) down the B6 motorway from Windhoek to Botswana. The town is 113 km (70 mi) from the Buitepos border post with Botswana, and serves as an important link to South Africa on the tarred Trans-Kalahari Highway. Gobabis is in the heart of the cattle farming area. In fact Gobabis is so proud of its cattle farming that a statue of a large Brahman bull with the inscription "Cattle Country" greets visitors to the town.
History
Etymology and pre-colonial history
The area around Gobabis and along the Nossob River had a strong population of elephants. The settlement itself was a base camp for ivory hunters and a trading post for elephant tusks.
In 1856 a mission station was established by one Friederich Eggert of the Rhenish Missionary Society. In the latter half of the 19th century and the early 20th century several conflicts flared up between the Ovambanderu and the Khauas Khoikhoi, as well as between the settlers and the indigenous people. Gobabis is in an area where the Herero and the Nama people fought wars against one another, as well as with settlers from the Cape colony that occupied the land.

The Recycle Song
by: CbeebiesWhat would you do if the world all turned grey?
All the pretty colours packed their bags and went away.
Well now let me tell you,
I know lots that we can do,
To keep the grass nice and green,
And the oceans deep deep blue.
How would you feel if the birds left the sky?
Tigers turned tail and the fish all waved goodbye.
I'm sure I'm just like you,
And if everyday we leave the world a much cleaner place,
We'll have sweeter air to breathe.
What? Try and save some rain water
Why? You can use the water again
How? Water the flowers and plants with the rain water
When? Everyday
Look for the thing you and do everyday.
Some things seem small but they're big in their own way.
Use a little less of some things,
And some things again if that's OK.
And cycle through a land that's filled.
Recycle through a land that's filled,
