Police in the Kharas Region have received 95,500  Namibia dollar to host the 27th edition of the Namibian Police Force Annual Sport Championships this year, at Keetmanshoop.

David Shikongo, Retail Operations Manager at FNB, and Commissioner Marius Katamila of the Namibian Police Force (NAMPOL), spoke at the sponsorship handover ceremony.

Shikongo said the financial contribution is a symbol of the bank's shared commitment to promoting sportsmanship, healthy living, and the invaluable role of law enforcement in society.

Residents of Keetmanshoop joined by NEFF activist Michael Amushelelo marched to the Magistrates' Court to demand justice for 31-year-old Elleste Plaatjies, who was allegedly killed by police officers.

The protestors handed a petition over to the Magistrate's Control Prosecutor, Lewis Chigunwe opposing the granting of bail to two police officers arrested in connection with Plaatjies' murder. 

They maintain that if the police officers are released on bail, they may influence the ongoing police investigation into the murder case.
