Namibia’s Home Affairs Minister Jerry Ekandjo has announced plans to introduce
legislation to "curb the spread of homosexuality in society" by imposing heavy
penalties, the Mail and Guardian newspaper in Johannesburg reported. While Namibia’s
Constitution bars discrimination, President Sam Nujoma and others say homosexuality is
inimical to Africa culture.
