A 68-year-old mother at Baracka, a remote village located about 25 kilometres from Tsumkwe, is making a desperate plea to authorities and the public to help locate her missing son, whom she says has been missing for five years after being hospitalised.

The Erongo Police are seeking assistance in identifying a 30-year-old man who died shortly after being admitted to the Karibib Clinic on Saturday.

Sarenda Mbangu, 30, allegedly complained of hunger and feeling unwell, which led to his neighbour taking him to the clinic.
