The Namibian Police at Katima Mulilo forcefully removed the padlocks that were reportedly put up by the Namibian Lives Matter Movement at shops owned by Batswana at the town on Friday. The movement, who continue to advocate for justice for the recently murdered Namibian fishermen, by the Botswana Defence Force, allegedly pasted posters on the shop doors demanding the immediate closure of the shops. In a recent demonstration, the group demanded an apology by the president of Botswana, deployment of NDF along the Namibia-Botswana border, as well as the release of the autopsies and investigation reports regarding the murder of the four fishermen. The Police Regional Commander in Zambezi, Commissioner Marius Katamila ordered the shops to start trading immediately and noted that the perpetrators would be brought to book.
