This briefing paper examines the draft Cybercrime Bill 2026 from a constitutional and human rights perspective. The paper argues that while effective cybercrime legislation is essential, several provisions in the current draft are so broadly framed that they could undermine freedom of expression, media freedom, privacy and access to information. The paper identifies key areas of concern, assesses the risks posed by both substantive offences and investigative powers, and offers recommendations for developing a cybercrime law that protects both national security and Namibia’s constitutional democracy
