Civil society groups and state institutions have hailed the Namibian Constitution, saying it has restored the rights and dignity of all without discrimination while addressing past injustices.

Namibians from different corners marked Constitution Day, which is normally held on February 9th.

The Namibia Economic Freedom Fighters (NEFF) have called on tertiary institutions across the country to stop asking for registration fees with immediate effect.

In a media statement, NEFF cites the Namibian Constitution, which guarantees each Namibian the right to education.

Article 21 of the Namibian Constitution provides for freedom of speech and expression, but when an untrue statement causes harm, defamation laws and constitutional protections can collide.
