Wanaheda is a suburb of the Namibian capital Windhoek that was created under the South African apartheid policy in the 1950s . The name is derived from the tribal names of its first inhabitants Wa mbo, Na ma, He rero and Da mara. With 19,300 inhabitants (as of 2010), the district has the third highest population of all districts in Windhoek.

Today (as of July 2019) Wanaheda is a socially mixed district, but is still inhabited exclusively by blacks. The former constituency of the same name (renamed in 2003 in honor of the former President of Mozambique , Samora Machel ) has 29,051 inhabitants (as of 2008).
