Namibia’s Minister of Home Affairs, Immigration, Safety, and Security, Dr Albert Kawana, made the announcement during Zambia’s 59th Independence Day celebration in Windhoek. He revealed that both governments are working closely to implement the new travel arrangement.
“Very soon, Zambian citizens will be able to enter Namibia using only their ID cards. We are working to abolish the use of passports between our countries,” Dr Kawana stated.
This follows a similar agreement reached earlier this year between Namibia and Botswana, making them the first countries in Southern Africa to permit cross-border travel using only national ID cards.
Zambia’s High Commissioner to Namibia, Stephen Katuka, also praised the deep-rooted ties between the two nations, recalling Zambia’s support for Namibia’s liberation struggle.
In another show of cooperation, both countries have agreed to allow convicted nationals to serve the rest of their prison sentences in their home countries.
