Caprivi African National Union

The Caprivi African National Union (CANU) was a Namibian political organization founded in 1962 by Brendan Simbwaye and Mishake Muyongo to advocate for the independence of the Caprivi strip, now the Zambezi Region. CANU emerged in response to the area's distinct colonial history, geopolitical isolation, and the imposition of apartheid policies by South Africa, which administered the territory at the time.
