The Namibia Exile Kids Association is now affiliated with the SWAPO Party. 

Its president, Kadiva Hamutumwa, announced this during the association's Central Committee Meeting.

The association was established to oversee the welfare of children born in exile.

The Association of Dependents of Veterans of Namibia (ADVN) held a demonstration in Windhoek demanding an amendment to the Veterans Act to accommodate benefits for children who were born in exile as well as dependents of war veterans.
