Minister addresses drug-related offences

Members of the Ganja Users of Namibia (Gun) have met with Home Affairs Minister Frans Kapofi to discuss police searches for marijuana and fines for drug-related offences. ‘We requested the Minister to order the police to stop searching our homes without search warrants,’ said Gun secretary-general Borro Ndungula who added that the meeting was ‘fruitful’. The Nation reports that Kapofi said he would discuss the meeting with police but ‘until such time the nation decides it (marijuana) is legislated, it remains illegal’.
