Latitude is an angle. Every point on Earth has a latitude that's either

between zero and 90° North, or else between zero and 90° south.

How many lines of latitude are in Namibia?

Namibia ranges in latitude from about 16.96° to 28.95° South. That's a range of almost exactly 12 degrees. You're welcome to draw as many parallels or 'lines' of latitude as you're comfortable with, in that range. There is no standard set of official 'lines' that everybody must use. If you look on five different maps or globes, you may very well see a different set of lines printed on each one.

How many lines in latitude and longitude?

Latitude and longitude are angles that describe the location of a point on the Earth's surface. Longitudes range from zero to 180 degrees east or west. Latitudes range from zero to 90 degrees north or south. There are no official 'lines'. Some maps or globes have some lines printed on them to show where a few latitudes and longitudes are, and other maps and globes have no lines at all printed on them. I have mapping software that can print 324,000 latitude lines and 648,000 longitude lines if I want them, but I have never needed them yet.
