A 1950 photograph of Herero tribeswomen outside a home in Windhoek, Namibia
Herero is a linguistic group closely related to Bantu speakers in southwest Africa. The Herero ethnicity as a whole and a subgroup recognized as the Mbanderu live in sections of central Namibia and Botswana; other related tribes, such the Himba, live in Namibia's Kaokoveld region and some areas of southern Angola.
This fashion was introduced to the natives by German missionaries' and German settlers' wives who first immigrated to the country in the early 1900s .
