Namibia overturns same-sex marriage ruling

In a landmark ruling, Namibia鈥檚 Supreme Court has said they will officially recognise same-sex marriages conducted abroad between citizens and foreign spouses - despite sodomy being illegal in the country.

The decision overturns a ruling reached last year by the High Court, which refused to accept same-sex marriages concluded outside Namibia. Karnie Sharp spoke to Arlana Shikongo, a journalist based in Windhoek to learn more about the ruling.
