The independence of the judiciary is guaranteed by the Article 78 of the Namibian Constitution. The Judiciary Act of 2005 created an independent body of the Judiciary, separating it from the Ministry of Justice. Prior to the establishment of the Act, the Ministry of Justice was responsible for providing support to the Judiciary. The Namibian judiciary has been constantly ranked among the freest in Sub-Saharan Africa by the World Economic Forum (Judicial Independence Index). In fact, it was ranked first in the region in 2017, ahead of South Africa.
