The Namibian Police say they do not discriminate against HIV-positive recruits.
This comes after Maria Sheehama* (24) claimed she was excluded from the police’s recruitment process due to her HIV-positive status.
The Windhoek resident says she has applied for a cadet constable position and disclosed her HIV-positive status during the medical examination phase.
She, however, claims she did not meet the “new” medical requirements for the position.
