McHenry Venaani also briefed the media on the imminent deportation of Namibian asylum seekers in the United Kingdom after he met the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of International Relations, Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah.

The British High Commissioner to Namibia, Charles Moore, says the leaked communication on Namibian asylum seekers in the United Kingdom contained inaccuracies and a lack of understanding of the country's asylum system.

A great number of Namibians have gone to the UK over the years under the guise of seeking asylum. But soon, over 90% of Namibian asylum seekers in the United Kingdom will soon be deported back to Namibia.
