Zero Tolerance Namibia - Botswana - S.A. joint law enforcement project

inside Sinkholes: Municipality acts swiftly

Sharlien Tjambari

Various Government law enforcement agencies of Namibia, Botswana and South Africa launched the 10th Joint Law Enforcement Operation at Swakopmund this week. The law enforcement operation is carried out under the auspices of the Trans-Kalahari Corridor Management Committee (TKCMC) which oversees compliance with procedures for the smooth flow of trade on the Trans-Kalahari highway linking the port of Walvis Bay via Botswana to South Africa's economic hub, Gauteng. From official documents to loading and licensing, the law enforcement officers are leaving no stone unturned to ensure transporters comply with relevant legislation, policies and procedures. Well-functioning roads, railroads and border posts is important to ensure regional economic integration for SADC. The launch of the operation took place at the main road block near Swakopmund on the B2 and was attended by the Deputy Minister of Transport James Sankwasa and the Governor of Erongo, Clr Cleophas Mutjavikua and the Inspector-General of the Namibian Police General Sebastian Ndeitunga.

House burgled. Thugs then stole owner’s car and removed wheels and canopy Eileen van der Schyff

A Walvis Bay resident suffered a major loss this week when her house was burgled and the culprit or culprits then stole her vehicle to transport the stolen goods. To make matters worse, the vehicle was later discovered abandoned at Windhoek and stripped of its wheels and canopy. The vehicle was also damaged in the stripping process. A case of theft of a motor vehicle and housebreaking with the intent to steal and theft was opened. The culprits, who are still unknown, forced open the door of the house with a steel bar that was found on the premises. They took a Diamond television set valued at N$3 500 and the Ford Ranger valued at N$380 000. Residents of the harbour town are cautioned that housebreaking remains one of the major crime concerns and although vehicle theft is not common, it did show an alarming uprising trend in recent months. ¡Although the vehicle was recovered, the Namibian Police at Walvis Bay urged the public this week to come forward with information that could lead to the arrest of the culprit or culprits.
