Rosh Pinah is a mining town[2] located in southern Namibia, close to the border with South Africa. It is situated 360 kilometres (220 mi) south of Keetmanshoop in Namibia's ǁKaras Region. West of the town lies Diamond Area 1, the main diamond mining area of Namibia. Rosh Pinah belongs to the Oranjemund electoral constituency. The town is connected via road to Aus.[3]
Minerals mined at Rosh Pinah mine include copper, zinc, tin, lead, and silver. Like other mining towns in Namibia, the settlement was created when the mine was opened. It is governed by the mine operators RoshSkor because it does not fall under any regional government authority.[4]
The Hoeksteen Combined School is a government school located in the settlement.[5]
