Africa-Press – Namibia. <\/strong><\/span>Tourism minister Pohamba Shifeta has issued a warning to both the government and citizens pushing to reciprocate the United Kingdom\u2019s ending of visa-free entry for Namibians.<\/p>\n

In an exclusive interview, the minister said such a move could potentially result in significant financial losses amounting to billions for the tourism sector.<\/p>\n

Shifeta issued his warning at a moment when the Namibian government is closely examining the British government\u2019s decision to revoke visa-free entry for Namibians because of a sustained and significant increase in the number of UK asylum applications from Namibian nationals at UK borders since 2016.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis constitutes an abuse of the provision to visit the UK for a limited period as non-visa nationals,\u201d a statement from the UK government, released last week, reads.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, discussions about reciprocity resonated from various sources, with Swapo lawmaker Tobie Aupindi emerging as a vocal supporter of this stance.<\/p>\n

In a recent interview with New Era, the MP expressed his disappointment with the revocation of the visa-free entry, saying it could undermine the excellent bilateral relations which have existed between the two governments for 33 years.<\/p>\n

In fact, he stated that it should be an eye for an eye.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor years, citizens of both countries have enjoyed free entry due to the \u2018non-visa\u2019 policy employed by both due to<\/p>\n

the excellent relationship. However, the unilateral decision by the British government is simply unacceptable, and I call on the Namibian government to offer our British friends reciprocity on the same with immediate effect,\u201d he told this publication recently.<\/p>\n

However, Shifeta views these positions as reckless, asserting that if reciprocity were to occur, Namibia, particularly its tourism sector, would bear the brunt of the consequences.<\/p>\n

Last week, British High Commissioner Charles Moore told this paper that if Namibia was to impose the same regime on the UK, it will seem \u201codd\u201d as it doesn\u2019t have such with its strong allies like the United States, Venezuela, Russia and others.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery sovereign country has the right to put up laws and policies to protect its own border security, and put up measures that it feels will ensure their borders are strong. Namibia has that right as well,\u201d he reasoned.<\/p>\n

Nonetheless, Shifeta said \u201cthe British have nothing to lose\u201d, even if the visa regime was to be imposed on them.<\/p>\n

The long-serving tourism minister said the UK is the third-largest tourism market for Namibia after Germany and France.<\/p>\n

According to statistics from the ministry, Namibia receives approximately 35 000 tourists annually from the UK.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf we impose the visa regime on them, we will lose that market. We can even lose<\/p>\n

about N$2 billion, just from that specific market. Apart from monetary benefits, our people will lose jobs,\u201d he cautioned.<\/p>\n

\u201cI understand the political stances. However, for economic reasons, we can\u2019t afford to restrict them. They [visitors] will rather go to other countries like South Africa and Botswana because when it comes to tourism, the sectors are quite similar\u201d,<\/p>\n

he added. Although the minister expressed his disappointment with both the British and Canadian governments for imposing<\/p>\n

the visa regime on Namibia, he said<\/p>\n

instead of reacting, Namibia should<\/p>\n

rather introspect and finds ways to better<\/p>\n

the relationships with those<\/p>\n

countries.<\/p>\n

\u201cLet us rather look at the root causes of what has caused their complaints, such as what leads Namibians to go seek asylum and also abuse their immigration policies.<\/p>\n

Maybe those countries have been tolerant enough, hence their decisions. So, we have to deal with it in-house,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n

He said \u201calthough the tourism industry is one of the crucial sectors, it is also very sensitive, and we need to be mindful of our actions. Covid-19 and the limited<\/p>\n

movement of tourists has taught us how this can have a dire impact on our economy. The sector is only recovering from that difficult situation, and we cannot afford another problem,\u201d he emphasised. The<\/p>\n

sector contributes 15% to the country\u2019s GDP.<\/p>\n

Trophy hunting<\/p>\n

In the same vein, Shifeta said the Namibian government has been at loggerheads with<\/p>\n

the British regarding the UK Trophy<\/p>\n

Hunting Imports Ban Bill.<\/p>\n

The legislation, currently under consideration in the House of Lords, aims to prohibit hunting tourists from importing animal skins, severed heads, and carcasses obtained from hunts abroad.<\/p>\n

Trophy hunting, a practice in which hunters pay substantial amounts to kill big-game animals like elephants and lions, has been the subject of longstanding controversy.<\/p>\n

He is fervently hoping that the UK government will reconsider their decision, emphasising that it could have detrimental effects on the economy.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey are attempting to persuade us that certain countries will face exclusion, and they have already prohibited trophy imports from other nations. However, now they<\/p>\n

are proposing a blanket ban on all trophy imports. They mentioned that there is a possibility of amending the law to allow exceptions for countries with successful conservation efforts, such as Namibia, Botswana and others,\u201d Shifeta continued.<\/p>\n

He also believes the UK is singling out countries like Namibia (which previously exported trophies to the UK).<\/p>\n

The minister then expressed concern that if the law is enforced without exceptions, Namibian conservancies will endure significant hardships.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe currently boast more than 80 conservancies, providing employment to over 5 000 people. If we were to discontinue receiving funds from trophy hunting,<\/p>\n

these conservancies would suffer, and so would the livelihoods of the people<\/p>\n

dependent on them.<\/p>\n

As countries blessed with diverse wildlife, including elephants, rhinos and lions, we believe that this cessation of funds could significantly impede conservation efforts within our borders,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n

Shifeta also pointed out that the animal population, particularly elephants, is experiencing rapid growth.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s precisely why conflicts arise between elephants and local communities. The insufficient space and limited food<\/p>\n

force them to encroach upon human<\/p>\n

habitats, including commercial farms. The proposed solution is to control the elephant population through hunting, compensating affected communities for damages caused, and using this as a form of appeasement. However, the decision is still pending,\u201d he observed.<\/p>\n

The politician pointed out that while the UK may not be the largest market for trophy hunting, the implementation of its laws can have significant repercussions.<\/p>\n

Notably, the United States of America, Germany and Belgium are the primary markets for trophy hunting in Namibia.<\/p>\n
