Judge Shafimana Ueitele has ordered the Namibian Government to release four Angolan children who have been in state custody for more than four years.

In 2018, the state opened a case against businessman Simon Andjamba on charges of human trafficking.

It was alleged that the businessman trafficked the four children from Angola.

The four children have since been kept in the custody of the Ministry of Gender Equality, Poverty Eradication, and Social Welfare at an undisclosed location.
