Vyf Rand is a squatter camp on the outskirts of Okahandja,[1][2] located north of Windhoek in the Okahandja constituency of the Otjozondjupa region of Namibia. "Vyf rand" is an Afrikaans phrase that translates to "five rand".[3]

The settlement was a filming location for Where Others Wavered, a film about the life of Sam Nujoma – Namibia's first president – touted as "one of the country's most ambitious film projects".[4]
