43-year-old truck driver Robbert Amutenya, who allegedly blocked traffic in Orwetoveni after refusing a breathalyser test, appeared in the Otjiwarongo Magistrate's Court today.

Suicide and drug possession top the weekend police report.
 
Two of the three suicides reported are of women in their 40s.

At Oshifo's Omumbonde Village, Lucia Pokanana (47) allegedly hanged herself at home, as did 44-year-old Meriam Kairi from Orwetoveni at Otjiwarongo.

A decision by the Otjiwarongo Municipality to ease the overcrowded Single Quarters hostel units at Orwetoveni has been met with mixed emotions by residents who are refusing to be relocated to a new service area with no water and electricity.
