 In 2013 Namibia president Hifikepunye Pohamba stated that "I have accepted the [4th Delimitation] Commission's recommendation that Lüderitz Constituency be renamed ǃNamiǂNûs Constituency which was the original name of the area.This includes the current town of Lüderitz".Arguments flared up over whether or not this implied a name change of the town of Lüderitz to ǃNamiǂNûs.
