Ongwediva is a small town very close to Oshakati in Ovamboland, in northern Namibia. Ongwediva was established in the 1960's while Namibia was under South African occupation.

All main educational institutions in the north of Namibia were situated here and it still has a number of schools, an Educational College for teachers and the Faculty of Engineering and Information Technology of the University of Namibia is based in Ongwediva.

(Feb-2014): Take note: Garage or Petrol cards will no longer be accepted as a legal tender for purchase of fuel, spares or repairs in Namibia.
Cash, Debit and Credit cards are legal payment instruments, but many fuel stations choose NOT to accept Debit and/or Credit cards.
Therefore you are advised to either carry cash or ensure that the filling stations you intend to use will accept your Debit or Credit card. (Feb-2014).
A traveller travelling to Namibia during May 2014, found that a credit card was accepted at garages at these places: Swakopmund, Ai-Ais, Solitaire, Sesriem and Lüderitz. It seemed to be possible to pay by credit/debit card at the major tourist towns. Take extra cash with still in case! (May-2014).
