rdf:langString Mix camp (also: Berghoff settlement) is an informal settlement in the greater Brakwater area in central Namibia. It is located 20 kilometres (12 mi) north of Windhoek and inhabited by approximately 3000 people. Mix camp belongs to the Windhoek Rural electoral constituency. Mix camp is named after German Heiner Mix who allowed people to settle on his 50 hectare plot in the 1980s. After Mix' death in 1999 the settlement mushroomed because there was no landlord. In 2006 a lengthy legal and political battle started after a company owned by Secretary to Namibian Cabinet Frans Kapofi bought the plot and wanted the residents to leave. Mix residents in turn requested government to expropriate the land. In November 2010, two weeks before the regional elections, government acquired the land and promised to develop the area.
