The government wants tighter checks for anyone who takes care of kids after two children were killed in Okahandja. Home Affairs Minister Lucia Iipumbu called these murders awful because losing even one child is terrible. She said both deaths happened within weeks of each other, which makes this a national emergency.
Iipumbu asked everyone to watch for strange behavior that might threaten children. She ordered police leaders to use their best officers to solve these crimes fast. The minister stressed that all groups working with children need safety rules right away.
Residents feel angry about what happened in their quiet town near the capital. Iipumbu reminded people that children represent the future of Namibia. She believes communities must act together as guardians for all youngsters. The minister wants new centers created just for protecting children throughout the country.
