Albert Kawana wants tough action against people selling drugs across the country. The home affairs minister spoke at a new police station opening last Thursday near Swakopmund. Drug problems keep growing worse throughout the Erongo region, causing serious worry among officials. Our young people face terrible danger from these substances, Kawana explained during his speech.
The beautiful facility sits inside the DRC settlement area, built entirely through the Rössing Uranium mining company's generosity. Their donation totaled N$20.7 million, creating modern space for law enforcement work. According to Kawana, community support remains essential for fighting crime effectively. He asked church heads, traditional chiefs, and regular...
Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah breaks new ground as she prepares to lead Swapo after 65 years of male leadership. The party gave her full support last month when the central committee voted her through without competition. They plan to make everything official during Saturday's special meeting happening in Windhoek. Her rise marks a historic change as she becomes the first woman to reach this position.
Party official Uahekua Herunga talked with The Namibian newspaper yesterday about the upcoming event. He explained they planned just one thing for the gathering - formally presenting Nandi-Ndaitwah as their new leader. The second-highest job she currently holds will stay empty until 2027. Some experts believe this happened because running...
Police across Masvingo hunt for a 36-year-old man who tricked locals out of nearly fifty thousand dollars. Tinashe Tabarembengo vanished after pocketing cash from folks who believed he worked as an official Be Forward car import representative. Law enforcement officials warned residents about scammers targeting people wanting to bring vehicles into the country.
Authorities described how Tabarembengo convinced around ten victims to hand over money between February and December last year. These trusting customers either passed him cash directly or transferred funds to his personal bank account. He promised each person their dream car would arrive shortly but never delivered any vehicles or returned a single dollar.
The total stolen...
Cops locked up Tyron Pigors Siegfried from Bulawayo after finding crystal meth at his house Thursday. He stood before Judge Polite Dube-Banda yesterday. The court pushed his bail hearing to Monday. Lawyer Innocent Rujeko Mafirakureva represents him through Moyo & Nyoni.
Police charged Siegfried for having 1.26 kilograms of crystal meth worth $6,000 on the street. Prosecutor Mufaro Ndirayire explained how police watched Siegfried since February. They raided his Matsheumhlope home and discovered drugs hidden inside a biscuit box, sneaker box, fake dictionary, and blue trunk. The officers also grabbed scales he used to measure drug amounts.
Siegfried acted totally differently in court than on his arrest day. He looked pale and quiet...
The Supreme Court turned down Mike Chimombe's request to get out of jail before his trial. They agreed with the earlier ruling from the High Court. The National Prosecuting Authority announced this decision today. They explained that the court found strong reasons to keep Chimombe locked up because he might run away, face serious charges, or mess with witnesses.
Chimombe faces major fraud accusations related to money from the Presidential Goats Pass-on Scheme. Police arrested him last year along with another suspect named Moses Mpofu. The local court first refused his bail back in July when a judge worried he would skip town or talk to witnesses before trial. After that first denial, he tried taking his case to a higher court.
His...
Agnes Mugayi lost her life when she touched exposed wires coming from a generator at work. The 58-year-old bartender from the Federation, Dangamvura, worked at a local drinking spot in Sakubva. Her brother Lovemore, aged 60, runs the bottle store where she worked. He found her body last Thursday morning after she went missing for several minutes during her shift.
The accident happened early in the morning, around 7:30, at Chineta Road Bottle Store, located at Munowenyu Business Centre. Agnes had been working alongside her brother Lovemore and her son Gift Bunjira, who is 30 years old. She walked to check something behind the store, where they kept a running generator but never returned from that area.
Lovemore became worried after she...
A court cleared Ibbo Mandaza Jr of charges he hurt his former spouse last Christmas Eve. The judge decided his ex-wife, Tyler Roxanne Robinson, told a story full of holes. She claimed Ibbo Jr, who stands at 33 years old, attacked her during a fight at his place when their two-year-old kid was right there. The court found her words untrustworthy because nobody backed up what she said.
Robinson told officials she brought back an old phone because it had naked pictures inside. She showed papers from a doctor about bruises on her right shoulder and both knees. Ibbo Jr told a different tale - he said Robinson attacked him instead. He explained he visited her earlier with food and presents, including that phone she complained about later...
Armed robbers pretend to be traffic cops on roads across Manicaland Province. These fake officers wear police uniforms and create phony roadblocks to trap drivers, especially those operating delivery trucks. They already struck twice on the same day last month along different highways.
During daylight hours, these criminals stopped a Kitoko Brandy truck on the Nyazura-Chivhu Highway. They stole $3,285 cash plus other items from the driver. Later that night, these same crooks robbed a Parnmart delivery truck traveling the Rusape-Nyanga Highway, making off with $1,115 cash and several phones.
Assistant Inspector Wiseman Chinyoka from the Manicaland police confirmed these robberies happened recently. He explained how these fake cops wave...
