Just had a conversation with a bloke in the tourist industry last night. According to him the bill is "in discussion", not yet passed. However the department hadling visas is, again, witholding visas and permits as a "precautionary" measure, since it's possible the bill will pass.
Rumors are rampant here!
If all the operators in Namibia meet with the government and explain the situation, and that 35% of the nations entire GDP is tourism, there will either be unheard of unemployment and poverty in Namibia, OR the government will begin issuing visas/permits.
I am hoping for the latter. Sitting here at the box, wondering if I should even go to the airport as planned today... Save the N$32 round trip cab fair... Or go there optomistic that it will all clear up within the next couple of months...
