Mandarin a favorite of Namibian students

WINDHOEK - With growing trade relations between Namibia and China, more Namibian students are falling in love with Mandarin.

"I am only in the first year at university and I chose Chinese as a foreign language as this could broaden my horizons," says Ndapewa Shikongo, a student at the University of Namibia.

More countries around the world are doing business with China and soon Mandarin will be a most sought-after language, "so why not prepare for it", says Shikongo.
