A group of Namibians took to Windhoek city centre streets to protest the Minister of Home Affairs' decision not to allow twins, who were born through surrogacy, to enter Namibia. The babies, whose parents are from the LGBTQI community, were born in South Africa last week and are unable to travel to Namibia. Local media reported that the Minister of Home Affairs and Immigration, Frans Kapofi is requesting the two fathers of the babies to provide the authorities with proof that they are indeed the biological parents of the twins. The minister's decision not to grant travel permits to the infant girls has caused Phillip Lühl, a Namibian citizen, to file an urgent application in the Windhoek High Court. In support of Luhl and his spouse, Guillermo Delgado, Namibians marched calling on the responsible minister to allow Luhl and Delgado's twins entry into Namibia and eventually grand them permanent residency. According to various media reports the twins were born in Durban, South Africa, through a surrogate pregnancy on 13 March. Luhl and Delgado are registered as parents of the twins on their South African birth certificates. The marriage between Lühl and Delgado's is also not recognised in Namibia, as same-sex unions are not allowed in the country. The two are reported to have gotten married in South Africa seven years ago and are raising a child who was conceived through similar means who is staying with them at their Windhoek home.
