Namibia's coastal towns are battling against high temperatures and sandstorms.

On Tuesday, poor visibility due to a sandstorm caused an accident on the B2 road between Arandis and Swakopmund, claiming the life of 48-year-old Morne Gareth Openshaw.
 
Shacks also burned down in Swakopmund's Mondesa and DRC areas, leaving families in the cold.

The Mayor of Swakopmund, Dina Namubes, urged residents not to cook on an open fire.

Swakopmund Mayor Dina Namubes urged residents to be cautious when handling fires.

A group of coastal journalists who were attacked by fraud suspect Immanuel Nowaseb has opened a case of assault against him.

In a video captured by the victims, Nowaseb could be seen repeatedly hitting the correspondents who were assigned to cover his first court appearance at Walvis Bay with a book. 

The 40-year-old Nowaseb is facing 15 counts of fraud and, alternatively, money laundering.
