STOP IT: First Lady Monica Geingos.
STAFF REPORTER
WINDHOEK
First Lady Monica Geingos has taken issue with the “dehumanising and oppressive language” used by the Swapo Party Youth League (SPYL), which said in a press statement last week that homosexuality was “satanic and demonic”.
Last week the Law Reform and Development Committee (LRDC) submitted a report to justice minister Yvonne Dausab proposing the abolishment of 34 obsolete laws, including the law criminalising sex between consenting adult men.
The second report, recommending the repeal of Namibia’s controversial common law offences of sodomy and unnatural sexual offences, was also submitted to the minister.
