Several stakeholders have joined forces to launch a drunk-driving assessment and law enforcement campaign starting in July.

The aim is to root out drunk driving, which has been identified as one of the main contributors to road crashes on Namibian roads.

Omusati Police Regional Commander, Commissioner Ismael Basson, says 11 people in the region have been arrested for drunk driving since the Easter long weekend began yesterday.

The Omusati Region has seen an influx of visitors, prompting police to set up sporadic roadblocks across the region.

The Roads Authority's (RA) Transportation Executive Officer, Sidney Boois, is concerned over the lax use of seatbelts in public transport.
