This decision has sent shockwaves through the Buganda community and beyond.
However according to sources within the Buganda kingdom, the 69-year-old monarch has been undergoing recuperation at a health facility in Okunguari, Kunene province, located approximately 700 kilometers from Windhoek, the capital of Namibia.
His stay in this remote region has been a matter of great concern and attention.
Visa extension denied
The Namibian Broadcasting Corporation recently reported that Namibia’s ministry of International Relations and Cooperation has rejected the request to extend Kabaka Mutebi II’s visa in the country.
This decision has raised questions and sparked discussions within diplomatic circles.
In a statement, Penda Naanda, the Executive Director of Namibia’s ministry of International Relations and Cooperation, clarified that the rejection of the visa extension request was based on the country’s immigration laws.
Namibia allows a maximum stay of 90 days for non-Namibians, as per reports from the Namibian Broadcasting Corporation.
Strained diplomatic ties
This development comes just weeks after Windhoek expressed its concerns about the presence of five Buganda clan chiefs who had been arrested with the intention of meeting the Kabaka.
This incident strained the diplomatic ties between Kampala and Namibia, putting them on the brink of a potential crisis.
As of now, neither Ugandan nor Buganda authorities have made any public statements in response to the visa denial by the Namibian government.
The silence from both parties leaves many wondering about the potential consequences and future actions in this delicate situation.
