UPDATE | Alcohol sales are strictly prohibited this Sunday.

The Police Spokesperson and Deputy Commissioner, Kauna Shikwambi, has issued a clear directive that all liquor outlets must remain closed. 

On Saturday, however, these outlets may operate but must strictly adhere to the conditions stipulated in their liquor licences. 

Stress, alcohol, and drug use are some of the factors that contribute to mental health problems.

The Hephzibah Treatment Center is one of the facilities that accommodates youth as young as 15 years old grappling to overcome these psychological problems.

The center on the outskirts of Windhoek was established as a solution to positively change lives, using the family unit as the foundation.

Residents in Keetmanshoop raised concerns about alleged police brutality and, at times, slow police response during a meeting with Police Inspector General, Lieutenant-General Joseph Shikongo.

At the meeting, residents were given the opportunity to raise their concerns.

Community members say noise pollution, the mushrooming of shebeens, alcohol and drug abuse by young people, and the mugging of cell phones are also worrisome in the southern town.
