House breaking, stock theft, and illegal harvesting of natural resources by illegal immigrants are major causes of concern for citizens living in the Zambezi Region.

Namibian Police Inspector General, Lieutenant General Joseph Shikongo, is confident, though, that criminal activity in the region can be brought under control.

General Shikongo addressed his officers following the just-concluded "Operation Clarion" in the region.

In dealing with criminal activity, Lieutenant General Shikongo observed a lack of coordination among the security cluster, including police, the Namibia Defence Force, and immigration, fisheries, and intelligence officials.

He directed commanders to focus more of their time on operating in the field rather than spending all their time in offices.

Shikongo also warned officers against engaging in corrupt activities.
