Former Prime Minister Nahas Angula says the ministry of home affairs, immigration, safety and security is capable of dealing with illegal immigrants, rejecting calls for anti-immigrant protests similar to those taking place in South Africa.

Angula was responding to questions from the Windhoek Observer on Monday after National Unity Democratic Organisation (NUDO) member of Parliament Vetaruhe Kandorozu called for protests against illegal immigrants and foreign nationals working in Namibia.

“Namibia is a law-governed country. The ministry responsible for immigration is capable of dealing with those who violate immigration laws. Mobs belong to societies which have no laws,” Angula said.
