Entrepreneurship and witchcraft in Namibian indigenous communities
Courtesy of Inderscience Publishers
This article explains the relationship between witchcraft and entrepreneurship from the viewpoint of the extended family and the entrepreneur in Namibia. When one addresses the issue of witchcraft in the Namibian context, it is clear that it is due to the unequal distribution of resources within the country, whereby the top 30% elite receives more than 90% of the resources and the majority of the population only receives 10% of the resources. As this is a national problem within the country, it has also an impact on how the communities work together in their daily activities. Communities have a tendency to be jealous of each other, although none of them are better than the other. This forces some communities to practice witchcraft, which is called traditional medicine (bieljas) in the Namibian context.
