The government has questioned the process followed by Amnesty International in compiling its report on Angolan children who are roaming the streets of the country.

Angolan children living in Namibia are facing barriers to education, healthcare and birth registration, according to a new report by Amnesty International.

Groups of children, believed to have come from Angola, continue to increase by the day as more children join the ranks.

Prime Minister Elijah Ngurare said the situation of Angolan kids as young as four years old on the streets is a case the government regards as urgent.

Cabinet has decided during its meeting on April 23 to ensure the safe return of Angolan children and mothers who have been roaming the streets begging in various parts of the country.

Oshana Police Commander Commissioner Naftal Sakaria says the issue of Angolan children selling items at shopping malls needs a collective solution.

Commissioner Sakaria says the matter constitutes child labour.
