Basilius Dyakugha unpack the legal, cultural, and human rights dimensions of 65-year-old British tourist accused of photographing nude San children

[PODCAST]

We tackle a story that has stirred national outrage and concern — the arrest of a 65-year-old British tourist accused of photographing San children in the nude at the Grashoek Living Museum in Tsumkwe West.

The case has ignited a broader debate: Where is the line between cultural appreciation and exploitation? What rights do indigenous communities have when it comes to image consent, and are Namibia’s legal and ethical frameworks strong enough to protect them — especially children?

Joining us is Namibia’s Ombudsman, Adv. Basilius Dyakugha, to unpack the legal, cultural, and human rights dimensions of this incident and what steps the country needs to take next.
