Namibia: Land Activist Challenges Squatters Law

[New Era] Land Activist Dimbulukeni Nauyoma has dragged the government and attorney general to court to get the Squatters Proclamation AG, 21 of 1985, repealed. According to the activist, the Act was merely enacted with the sole purpose of denying Namibians access to land and or housing. "The realities of Namibia's land issue, as we speak, can simply not be reconciled with the squatters' proclamation. There is no need for a squatters' proclamation in its current form in our constitutional dispensation," said Nauyoma
