Farmers on the outskirts of Windhoek's Satan Slog settlement, known as ǂHoas, are pleased with the good rains that continue to fall in their area and are optimistic about the coming farming season.

The nbc News team visited some farmers to hear their accounts. 

This is a season that often comes with a sigh of relief for many citizens, particularly farmers. 

Those living at ǂHoas, like Abel !Kharuxab, say grazing for their livestock has drastically improved after enduring a very difficult and dry season last year.

"Every time there is a good rain, there are also other smaller things, but then we can still farm better and multiply them; the more they become, the more we can employ more workers, make more money, and improve our lives."

On her side, Gerda Oarum appealed to the government to assist with seeds so they could expand their gardens.

"We don't have problems any longer because it rained so well. Our livestock are doing well, farming is going well, and the land is also doing well. All we need are the seeds if we can get help planting our fields. We have put up some crop fields with a few maize and pumpkins, but we do not have seeds."

18-year-old Jovane INanub has been working on a small-scale backyard garden.

The project has yielded good results thus far, and he hopes to supply his mother and younger brother in Windhoek with his produce.

"What we are trying to do here is: I have pumpkins, potatoes, and some maize and watermelons; what I want to achieve here is to support my mom and family; my goal from this is to grow 50 kg of maize and 50 kg of potatoes—something that they can give away. I cannot only sell; I also have to eat. I will try to sell them, but it is also myself; it must also go here."

Like many unemployed youths, |Nanub left Windhoek due to the high cost of living, unemployment, and his desire not to get caught up in destructive activities.

But farmers in the area complain of livestock theft, with small stock poached from kraals at night.
