What is "otjomuise"

Otjomuise ( Otjiherero: place of steam) is a township in north-western Windhoek, Namibia.

Otjomuise is also one of the two traditional names of the town Windhoek. It references the hot springs near today's city centre. In May 2005, Democratic Turnhalle Alliance leader Katuutire Kaura introduced a motion into the National Assembly which would have changed Windhoek's official name to Otjomuise as part of a national Africanization of major towns and cities.
