A 20-year-old man has been arrested in connection with the alleged rape of an eight-year-old boy in Ongwediva.

A minor boy was burned beyond recognition when the sleeping room in which he was resting caught fire last night at Ohangwena yaHaamoni village in the Ohangwena region.

In a tragic incident at the Katutura Municipal Swimming Pool in Windhoek, a 14-year-old boy drowned on Monday afternoon.
