The Ministry of Home Affairs, Immigration, Safety, and Security has missed its performance target. 

The Head of Performance, Assurance Monitoring, and Evaluation Directorate in the Namibia Correctional Service therefore called on the ministry's staff to take the performance agreement system (PMS) seriously. 

Speaking at the Ministerial Annual Planning Workshop, Commissioner Lovisa Uukelo said more still needs to be done by the ministry to reach the 80% performance target as outlined by the Harambee Prosperity Plan II. 

Under the beautiful clear skies and with perfect road running conditions, the 9th edition of this highly anticipated annual competition mesmerized both participants and spectators. The half marathon showcased some incredible talent, with Hamutwa Shikongo from Kavango East initially taking the lead and capturing everyone's attention for the first 14 kilometers. However, as his energy dwindled, he was eventually overtaken by Shaliaxwe and Matheus from the Namibian Police, who showcased their exceptional skills and determination. 

The Namibia Correctional Service (NCS) has given managers until May 23rd to report the number of correctional officers with visible tattoos.

In an internal memo, NCS threatened that future potential candidates with visible tattoos would not be considered for employment.

In an interview with nbc Radio Current Affairs, Assistant Commissioner Salmi Hangula stated that the ministry is working to change the recruitment policy and the code of conduct to incorporate the tattoo clause.

There is a growing recognition that places of detention have become targets for the recruitment of potential violent extremists.

This was revealed at the first-ever regional workshop on preventing radicalization into violent extremism in prisons.

The heads of correctional services and senior officials in the Southern African Development Community (SADC) have gathered at Walvis Bay to discuss matters relating to violent extremism.

Over 15,000 hopefuls for 200 jobs at the Namibia Correctional Service are queuing up at various police stations in the capital to acquire police clearance certificates.

A total of 15 867 candidates were chosen from a pool of 33 259 applicants, with only 200 needed.

Since last week, police officers have been working tirelessly to make sure that no one is turned back.

This is despite the region not having enough machines to speed up the process, according to |Khomas Regional Commander David Indongo.
