When did British stop ruling Africa?
The UK didn't ever own all of Africa, although they owned a considerable amount. The first British African Colony to become independent was South Africa in 1910 (although the UK still controlled the nation). The last one was Rhodesia in 1980.
What type of colony was South Africa?
I think you mean "Does South Africa have a Colony". South Africa did at one time control another nation in Africa. In 1915, during WWI, the South African Army (which was at that time a British Dominion) captured the German colony of South-West Africa. After the war ended the South African government was granted permission to rule South-West Africa as a "Mandate". This meant that they controlled South-West Africa much like a colony, but they had to abide by rules put in place by the League of Nations. When South Africa itself became completely self-governing in 1931 it gained even more control over South-West Africa, and in 1990 it granted South-West Africa independence as Namibia.

What recipes are from Namibia?
Might not be any. Namibia was a German colony, and then ruled by South Africa (the country) for a long time. Namibia is still in the shadow of Big Brother (like Canada), and trying to get its own identity. (In this case from South Africa.) South Africa has plenty of recipes. So, what one might think is a Namibian recipe, could actually be South African, or German.
