Body of Christ Party leader and MP Festus Thomas has questioned the Ministry of Urban and Rural Development over reported restrictions placed on churches, particularly revival churches, by some traditional leaders in northern Namibia.

The Omukwaniilwa of the Ondonga Traditional Authority, Fillemon Shuumbwa Nangolo, says the traditional authority will not allow the unregulated mushrooming of revival churches in areas under its jurisdiction.

Shuumbwa made these remarks during an annual stakeholder engagement meeting at Onambango Palace.
