Tsumeb (Otjiherero: Okavisume;[3] Khoekhoe: ǂAixorobes) is a city[4] of around 35,000 inhabitants and the largest town in the Oshikoto region in northern Namibia. Tsumeb is known as the "gateway to the north" of Namibia.[5] It is the closest town to the Etosha National Park. Tsumeb used to be the regional capital of Oshikoto until 2008 when Omuthiya was proclaimed a town and the new capital.[6] The area around Tsumeb forms its own electoral constituency and has a population of 44,113.[7] The town is the site of a deep mine (the lower workings now closed) that in its heyday was known as "TCL" (after its operator Tsumeb Corporation Ltd.), but has since been renamed the Ongopolo Mine.
