The owners of Kleines Nest Bed and Breakfast in Walvis Bay were attacked by two men who entered their home and business premises in the early hours of yesterday. Narrating the horrific ordeal, Johann van den Berg said he arrived with his wife from Windhoek around 00:30 where they had gone to see off their son who was leaving for a rugby tournament in South Africa. They retired for the night but around 03:00 04:00 they woke up when two men started attacking them w i t h
bricks. Their assailants covered the faces of the victims with the duvet to conceal their identity. “It was just blood all over the bed as the criminals continued with their attack. My wife (Melani) said she saw that the two men were wearing black plastic bags as gloves. They demanded money and I told them the only money that we had was the N$1 500 on the bedside. They took it,” said Van den Berg.
However, the robbers did not believe him and they threatened the couple with death if they did not give them more money. They asked where the computers were kept and Van den Berg told them the equipment was in the office. One of the men stayed behind while the other went to the office. Before he left for the office he demanded to know how to disable the alarm and disarmed it.

Marshallino Beukes Twee persone is Woensdag, tussen 17:00 en 18:00, op slag dood, nadat ‘n 1-ton Kia vragmotor en ‘n Mercedes Elegance (N2136K) in ‘n botsing net buite Swakopmund betrokke was.
Die ongeluk het by die C34 afdraai na Hentiesbaai plaasgevind. Volgens bronne was die sedan voertuig vanaf Swakopmund op pad en die ligte vragmotor op pad na Swakopmund, toe die ongeluk gebeur het. Die vragmotor was blykbaar van plan om by die hoofweg in te swenk en daar word vermoed dat die bestuurder hom met die afstand na die Mercedes kon misgis het. ‘n Vroulike passasier in die Mercedes
en die vragmotor se bestuurder is noodlottig beseer. Hulle is intussen geїdentifiseer as mev Martha David (42) en mnr Joel Shituleni Lungameni (25). Drie passasiers in die Kia vragmotor (twee mans en een dame) is met hoofsaaklik sleutelbeen- en rib breuke deur Emed Rescue 24 en Eagle Christian Ambulance Services na die Swakopmund Staatshospitaal gehaas. Die bestuurder van die Mercedes en twee passasiers is ook met
