Vyf Rand is an informal settlement outside of Okahandja,[1][2] located north of Windhoek in the Okahandja constituency of the Otjozondjupa region of Namibia.

[3] The name originates from the initial rental fee of five rand per month tenant farmers paid for a small plot of land on large farms in Namibia.
