There is a growing recognition that places of detention have become targets for the recruitment of potential violent extremists.

This was revealed at the first-ever regional workshop on preventing radicalization into violent extremism in prisons.

The heads of correctional services and senior officials in the Southern African Development Community (SADC) have gathered at Walvis Bay to discuss matters relating to violent extremism.

The Ministry of Works and Transport has launched a digital information system to improve the monitoring of cross-border truck movement and conduct health checks.

The system was launched on behalf of the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA), the East African Community (EAC), and the Southern African Development Community (SADC).
