Schools must send students to march against child violence on April 29, said Education Minister Sanet Steenkamp. Students who stay behind will join school activities about safety. Steenkamp visited Okahandja on Sunday with President Nandi-Ndaitwah after three children died there. The victims include Ingrid Maasdorp, age five; Roswinds Fabianu, age six; and Beyoncé Kharuxas, age fifteen.

School leaders created plans for dealing with these problems. They discussed trauma effects, feelings, and security needs. Teachers reviewed safety guides about violence, bullying, suicide, and economic issues. The peaceful protest will focus on keeping schools safe. Steenkamp asked people not to hide those who hurt children.

Commander Phillip Haiidengwa told Desert FM on Monday that police had caught suspects linked to these killings. He avoided sharing details but said the first two cases seemed alike. People promised to help find criminals, with a reward of N$50,000 for good information. Five foreign detectives work on these cases with extra patrols from Special Reserve Force officers.

Community leader Gareb Gaseb wants the town to delay its tourism expo because of these events. He plans to meet with the police about safety concerns. The town council listened to community requests after two weeks of pushing. The relationship between locals and officials needs repair after recent problems.
