This mining town of around 35,000 people is no picnic. The Tsumeb mine has closed, but the smelter's toxic legacy lives on, with the local population "massively exposed to arsenic." Bureaucracy is a persistent headache, and the climate is hot and semi-arid. If you can handle the environmental and administrative challenges, Tsumeb may be worth a look, but it's no paradise.
