[New Era] The Anglican Church, the Evangelical Baptist Church and the Evangelical Lutheran Church have appealed for peace over the sensitive land issue.

Pastors from the three large church congregations in Namibia have written an open letter to President Hage Geingob and to the land activism trio operating under the ambit of Affirmative Repositioning (AR) – Job Amupanda, Dimbulukeni Nauyoma and George Kambala – to refrain from violent acts that could destabilise the country.

Based on figures from the 2011 census ELCIN had over 700 000 members, the Anglican Church had 275 000 members and the Evangelical Baptist Church had approximately 50 000 members.

AR has given government a July 31 deadline for local authorities to allocate land to landless youths in urban areas.
The impassioned appeal is also addressed to Sebastian Ndeitunga the Inspector General of the Namibian Police.
