The Namibian published a report titled ‘AR’s opinions divided over lowering voting age to 16’ on 30 September. The report incorrectly quoted Affirmative Repositioning (AR) parliamentarian Ester Haikola, instead of Swapo parliamentarian, deputy minister of urban and rural development Evelyn !Nawases-Taeyele. Her contribution was in response to Haikola’s contribution. The Namibian regrets the inconvenience this may have caused and apologises to Haikola and the AR.
