This is truly ridiculous and all Namibians should stand together to turn this nonsense around. It sounds as if their ruler is not fit to serve his people. Very disappointed in the Namibian leaders.

Namibian by birth. I cannot live in my country of birth because I have a same-sex partner, and we are legally married. We have volunteered in Namibia before, and would love to reside permanently in Namibia, even considered buying a house there.

We cannot stay in my country of birth, even though we want to, because of the hoops we will need to jump through for my partner to be able to work in the country, or have to settle for a long-distance relationship.

It is a petty. We are both good at what we do, and even considered and researched starting a business there after the 2023/2024 court ruling. Once again, it is off the table. I love my country, but will not support a regulation that aims to tell me whom I can share my life with and whom I can and cannot love.
