Prose
- In the lead, wikilink informal settlements.
- "and thus the concept of squatting thus did not apply." – remove one of the thuses to avoid redundancy.
- "to do this was subsequently made illegal" – any idea when?
- yes it was the Native Administrations Proclamation of 1922 - in mentioning that, I rejigged things a bit, I think it's better now, thanks for the inspiration! Mujinga (talk) 16:16, 4 May 2023 (UTC)
- That looks much better! ツ LunaEatsTuna (💬)— 01:40, 5 May 2023 (UTC)

- "ten bantustans were established, the remaining" – recommend "ten bantustans were established, and the remaining"
- "one of the biggest goals" – suggest largest because it sounds slightly more formal IMO.
- "so as to allow construction" – I believe it should be "so as to allow the construction" due to the highway being the singular subject.
- "and 8,090 at Gobabis" – why not in like the other settlements?
- it reads ok to me, but happy to change to "in" Mujinga (talk) 15:31, 4 May 2023 (UTC)
- No, that is fine with me! ツ LunaEatsTuna (💬)— 01:40, 5 May 2023 (UTC)

- I would rename § Legal to § Legality.
- "saying it had not" – 'it' being?
References
Passes spotcheck on refs 1, 3, 12 and 13.
- Recommend a citation template for ref 3.
- It seems The Namibian changed their URLs because all of their citations are dead; mark them as dead or if possible try to find and link their new URLs.
- hmm yeah that's annoying - I've replaced the links except "Squatters bemoan empty election promises" which I've marked as dead Mujinga (talk) 15:28, 4 May 2023 (UTC)
