The term [[Coloured People in Namibia|Coloured]] is also used in Namibia, to describe persons of [[mixed race]], specifically part Khoisan, and part European. The ''[[Baster]]s'' of Namibia constitute a separate ethnic group that are sometimes considered a sub-group of the Coloured population of that country. Under South African rule, the policies and laws of apartheid were extended to what was then called [[South West Africa]]. In Namibia, [[Coloured People in Namibia|Coloureds]] were treated by the government in a way comparable to that of South African Coloureds.

In Zimbabwe and to a lesser extent Zambia, the term Coloured or ''[[Goffal]]'' was used to refer to people of mixed race. Most are descended from mixed African and British, or African and Indian, progenitors. Some Coloured families descended from Cape Coloured migrants from South Africa who had children with local women. Under [[Rhodesia]]'s predominantly white government, Coloureds had more privileges than black Africans, including full voting rights, but still faced social discrimination. The term Coloured is also used in [[Eswatini]].
