Namibian President Nangolo Mbumba has declined to sign two controversial bills proposed by Swapo parliamentarian Jerry Ekandjo, which sought to criminalize homosexuality and redefine marriage to exclude same-sex couples. Human rights activists, including Nicodemus “Mama Afrika” Auxumub and Linda Baumann, have praised the decision, citing constitutional protections and Namibia’s international obligations. The bills failed to secure a two-thirds majority in parliament. Former ombudsman John Walters called Mbumba’s move “wise,” emphasizing that Namibia faces more pressing issues. The rejection highlights ongoing debates over human rights and equality in the country.
