Ministers, CEOs donate N$45 000 to polygamy cause

Two senior ministers and three parastatal bosses are among those who have donated N$45 000 to the cause of legalising polygamy in the Namibia.

Political analyst Rui Tyitende says he has received the donations after announcing he is joining lawyer Kadhila Amoomo’s upcoming High Court case seeking the legalisation of polygamy.

“They are in support of polygamy and feel the issue of same-sex relationships is pervasive among the political elite and corporate Namibia.

“They are indirectly saying there are more women available and a shortage of men, since they are in monogamous relationships,” he says.

Tyitende says other business people and ordinary citizens have also pledged support and have made financial pledges that are yet to be fulfilled, bringing the funds received so far to N$45 000.
