This image makes it seem like Namibia is just lashing out at American immigrants in the same way Trump is lashing out at immigrants to the US. That’s not what’s happening. Namibia originally opened visa free travel for Americans, Brits, etc with the hope that the US, UK, and other Western countries would do the same for Namibians, and those countries responded by making it more difficult for Namibians to enter than before. So now Namibia is (rightfully) no longer extending that courtesy to Western countries because why should they if all they get in return is hostility?
