Namibia: Pohamba Calls for End to Angolan Child Labour in Namibia

Former president Hifikepunye Pohamba has expressed concern over Angolan children missing out on an education as they are employed as cattle herders in Namibia.

Speaking at the Namibia University of Science and Technology graduation ceremony at Eenhana, he called for an end to this practice.

“Angolan children are brought to Namibia to look after goats and cattle while our own children are at school. Can we not end this situation?” Pohamba said, highlighting the lack of schools in southern Angola.
