why not english?

Most white people in Namibia speak german, but are fluent in english. The black population speaks mostly Oshiwambo, but is fluent in german or afrikaans.

>Wikipedia

While the official language is English, most of the white population speaks either German or Afrikaans. Even today, 99 years after the end of the German colonial era, the German language plays a leading role as a commercial language. Afrikaans is spoken by 60% of the white community, German is spoken by 32%, English is spoken by 7% and Portuguese by 1%.[84] Geographical proximity to Portuguese-speaking Angola explains the relatively high number of Portuguese speakers; in 2011 these were estimated to be 100,000, or 4–5% of the total population.

I thought we had already voted on English and Afrikaans as the official languages?

There are a lot of German tourists in Namibia, so that makes sense.
