Hakahana is a suburb of Windhoek, the capital of Namibia. The township is situated in the north of the town between the suburbs of Katutura, Wanaheda, and Okuryangava.
Hakahana was also a former constituency in the Khomas Region. In 2003, the constituency was split into Eastern Hakahana and Western Hakahana, both soon renamed into Tobias Hainyeko constituency and Moses ǁGaroëb constituency, respectively.[1] Hakahana means "Hurry up" in Otjiherero.[2]
