The City of Windhoek, in collaboration with local partners, is hosting an International Fire Safety Week event in the capital.

President Nangolo Mbumba has reappointed Lieutenant General Joseph Shikongo as Inspector General of the Namibian Police for a period of three years. 

The appointment is with effect from 1 October 2024 to 30 September 2027. 

Suicide and drug possession top the weekend police report.
 
Two of the three suicides reported are of women in their 40s.

At Oshifo's Omumbonde Village, Lucia Pokanana (47) allegedly hanged herself at home, as did 44-year-old Meriam Kairi from Orwetoveni at Otjiwarongo.

The unwillingness of Windhoek's informal settlement residents to sign lease agreements with the city has delayed the completion of electrification projects.

Windhoek Mayor, Queen Kamati, revealed this during the council meeting. 

Chief Inspector Ileni Shapumba, the Commander of Community Policing in the Erongo Region, has issued a stern warning to the public against engaging in mob justice and taking the law into their own hands.
