The Namibian government is facing criticism over its response to growing xenophobic tensions in South Africa, as more than 100 Namibians seek voluntary repatriation.

He warns that the delay could have serious consequences for regional unity and questions whether Namibia fulfilled its duty to citizens abroad.
