| Description | Namibian Minister of Home Affairs, Jerry Ekandjo, again made international headlines by urging a group of police constables to "eliminate" gays and lesbians "from the face of Namibia." President Nujoma earlier has made homophobic statements, in line with President Mugabe of Zimbabwe.
Jerry Ekandjo, Minister of Home Affairs, only two weeks ago had to humble himself apologizing to the judiciary after embarrassing his government declaring that foreign legal advisers would loose their working permissions after an affair were one foreign judge ruled against the government. The Minister of Justice had to correct him and guarantee the independence of the judiciary.
At that time, Ekandjo demonstrated little political skills. This time, he demonstrates an unnatural disrespect for human beings, urging a group of 700 newly graduated policemen and women at the police training college at Ondangwa, in the north of Namibia, to eliminate gays and lesbians from the face of Namibia. |
