Namwater is calling for public cooperation to protect critical water infrastructure and ensure a steady water supply in the Ombafi-Ongongo canal.

The water utility has noticed that some community members are illegally siphoning water from the canal to fill oshanas for fishing.

The Erongo Police will continue their special operations to arrest drug dealers, thieves, and other criminals terrorising Swakopmund residents.

Chief Inspector Iileni Shapumba says recent operations in this regard have yielded success.
