Kapana and dried meat vendors in Otjiwarongo have denied accusations of contributing to stock theft by purchasing stolen meat. 

These allegations arose following a recent incident in the Outjo district, where 31 cattle valued at over N$ 372 000 were illegally slaughtered. 

Police Inspector General Joseph Shikongo will not tolerate police officers selling contraband or those involved in criminal activities.

Lieutenant General Shikongo sounded the warning while addressing officers at the Oshikango police station in the Ohangwena Region.
