President Nangolo Mbumba has urged members of the Namibian Defence Force (NDF) to guard the country against elements that want to destabilise peace.
                                                                                                                   
Dr. Mbumba, who is also the Commander-in-Chief of the NDF, was speaking at the pass-out parade of 148 officer cadets following the completion of a regular commissioning course at Rundu. 

Unemployed youth in Keetmanshoop have raised their concerns and demanded a halt to the interviews of shortlisted police cadets in the ||Kharas Region.

They claimed that the recruitment shortlisting process is discriminatory and disadvantages the young people of the region.

The youth organised a march to the Police Regional Headquarters in Keetmanshoop, where they handed over a petition expressing their condemnation of the shortlisting process, alleging that it was discriminatory towards the native southerners of the region.
