Namibia is seriously looking at following the South African policy of land expropriation  without compensation.

President Hage Geingob’s says his country’s the second most unequal society on the planet behind  South Africa.

Pressure groups, non governmental organisations and opposition parties have withdrawn from the land conference in Windhoek.

Namibian President Hage Geingob urges them to return to the process driven by mending inequality.

He says land was seized without compensation from Namibian people in the liberation struggle following the arrival of German troops.

He cited the infamous massacre of Ovambo and Nama people in the early nineteen hundreds.

Geingob says the settler colonies of Namibia, South Africa and Zimbabwe share the historical problem of indigenous people being driven off their land.
