Cimbebasia

After having tried to found stations in all these different territories, the missionaries decided to concentrate their efforts on the northern part of the prefecture.

The superior general of the congregation therefore requested the Holy See to confide to other institutes the remaining sections of the vicariate.

This degree of latitude also formed the boundary line between the Portuguese and German possessions in Southern Africa.

Under the direction of the prefect Apostolic, 20 priests and 8 Brothers of the Holy Ghost Fathers laboured for the evangelization of this territory, aided by 40 catechists and five Sisters of St. Joseph of Cluny.

The Oblate Fathers of the Immaculate Mary had charge of the mission under the prefect Apostolic, who resided at Windhoek, the principal station.

Other mission stations were: Little Windhoek, Nobra, Swakopmund, Usakos, Aminuis, Tpukiro, Omaruru and Okumbabe.
