Malintal is located in the heart of the Hardap Region in southern Namibia and is the capital city of the region. Situated on the edge of the arid Kalahari Basin, the semi-desert landscape that surrounds the city is dominated by a hot and dry climate with an average annual rainfall of less than 200 millimeters.
As an important livestock hub in Namibia, Malintal's economy is dominated by cattle and sheep farming, with a wide range of surrounding pastures. The city has a large livestock market and regularly organizes auctions to attract buyers from all over the country. In addition, its location at the intersection of the B1 (Namibia's main north-south highway) and the C15 makes it a transportation hub in the south, which supports the development of logistics and trade.
Malintal has a population of approximately 15,000, with a predominantly native Nama community that retains a strong traditional culture. The city's infrastructure, including hospitals, schools and government institutions, is small but functional. Due to its remoteness, water scarcity is a chronic challenge, with dependence on groundwater and external supplies.
