Died on impact Possible suicide A Walvis Bay resident was killed on impact in Walvis Bay early on Saturday morning when he drove his car at high speed into the port of Walvis Bay’s south gate. He was driving down 5th Road towards the port gate and there are many questions in the aftermath of this tragic incident. Mr. Johannes Mbware Andima (48), was formerly employed by Air Namibia and the municipality of Walvis Bay where he was very popular among colleagues and the public alike. The death of Andima now leaves questions, as he was struggling with personal problems lately. However, it must be treated as speculation until more clues are followed up and confirmed by the Namibian Police.
