Hundreds of mourners bid farewell to Control Prosecutor Justine Shiweda, buried today at her family cemetery in Onambango Village, Oshana Region.

President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah has stated that the government is dedicated to ensuring that those responsible for the shooting and throwing of acid at Justine Shiweda will be brought to justice.

The colleagues of the late Ondangwa Court control prosecutor Justine Shiweda say picking up the pieces following her demise remains an uphill battle.

Police and prosecutors have linked the fatal attack on Ondangwa prosecutor Justine Shiweda to a case in which she opposed bail for jailed former police officer Abner "Kapilili" Mateus. Justine Shiweda's job has cost her life. 

Prosecutor-General Martha Imalwa delivered an emotional tribute to the family of the late Ondangwa-based prosecutor, Justine Shiweda.

She described Shiweda as an outstanding and committed prosecutor who was simply doing her job. Imalwa added that her death will not be in vain.
