Otjozondjupa Regional Council has welcomed the creation of the special wildlife court in the region as a means to speedily handle cases and deter would-be offenders dealing in protected game products.

This sentiment was shared by Otjozondjupa Regional Council Chairperson, Marlene Mbakera, during a courtesy call to the Governor's office by the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Constitutional and Legal Affairs at the Otjiwarongo.

According to Mbakera, the region's central location makes it an entry and exit zone for poachers.

African Stars Coach Mervin Mbakera claimed that they knew what to expect from Young African and that the Gobabis-based side fell perfectly into their game plan trap. Mbakera revealed this in a post-match interview following his team 1-0 victory at Legare Stadium in Gobabis on Saturday.
