[PODCAST]

Reports have surfaced alleging that a 15-year-old girl has been in a relationship with her aunty’s ex-boyfriend — a 37-year-old man — for the past three years. The mother, we understand, did not consent to this relationship and has expressed distress over the situation.

This alleged case not only raises legal red flags under Namibia’s Child Care and Protection Act but has also sparked outrage from activists and members of the public alike, demanding accountability and state intervention.

For a community update and advocacy perspective is Rencia, an activist affiliated with the Landless People’s Movement and someone closely monitoring the case on the ground.
