Namibia plans to ban foreigners from owning agricultural land

by Chamwe Kaira

The Namibian government plans to pass a new land law that will ban foreigners from owning agricultural land, the country’s cabinet said.

In a situation where land owned by foreigners cannot be bought by the government, such land will have to be offered to Namibians, according to an e-mailed report by President Hage Geingob’s cabinet. “In the absence of a Namibian buyer, such land should be offered back to the state,” it said.

Foreigners will only be allowed to lease urban land and not buy it, the report said.
