Different faith-based communities have applauded the government for non-interference in religious affairs and promoting religious tolerance.

Namibia, as a secular state, has seen different religions being practised as enshrined in the Namibian Constitution.

This week, the corridors of State House were witness to how the different religions wanted to continue impacting their followers with courtesy visits to the President.

The first to meet was the Establishment of the African Jews Federation and the Chief Rabbinate of Africa. 

The delegation, led by Rabbi Elnatan Elchanan Namhadi, engaged the President on spiritual matters as well as to introduce their activities in Namibia.

Namibia has a relatively small Jewish community, 

Similarly, the National Spiritual Assembly of Baha'i of Namibia is content with the government's support for the organisation over the years.

The Baha'i faith has had a presence in Namibia since the 1950s, practised on the principle of oneness of humanity, the need for universal education, and the elimination of all forms of prejudice.

The Baha'i has a membership base of more than 3,000 and considers itself the fastest-growing independent religion.
