First Lady Sustjie Mbumba has lamented that murders in Namibia have become somewhat fashionable and fun.

The First Lady was speaking at the Omkhai Namibia Trust, where senior citizens were treated to cosy blankets and grocery packs in Windhoek's Tobias Hainyeko residential area.

The Swapo Party in Zambezi Region commemorated the life of the late Tobias Hainyeko at Namwi Island.

The commemoration, which took place on the day he was shot and killed in 1967, is said to be the first since Namibia's independence of the former PLAN commander.
