OK, So I just sent £1000 of Bitcoin to a friend who is in Northern Namibia (just above South Africa).

He received the funds via an app on his phone - Mycelium..

The problem is we have no idea what to do now. Ideally he needs to transfer the btc to his local currency (NAD) or spend the bitcoin locally but noone there accepts bitcoin. How can we convert this money to something he can actually spend?

Thanks in advance.
Is this an made up story or real one?
If it's real then i belive there are few exchanges for sure and even if not, you can get plenty of buyers on localbitcoins.com.

I wish people would stop keep suggesting localbitcoins at a way to transfer btc to cash in somewhere like Namibia.

I just took a look and there is one seller for the whole of Namibia and he is actually based in London and he only accepts Western Union!
