The Eenhana Town Council has admitted that it operated its municipal dumping site for more than three years with an expired Environmental Clearance Certificate. 

The certificate expired in 2022 and was only renewed in March this year, exposing nearby communities to health and environmental risks.

Police at Grootfontein are investigating a case of rape and murder after the body of a 28-year-old woman was found at a dumping site in the Kaap n' Bou informal settlement on Saturday.

The incident formed part of the weekend crime report compiled by the Namibian Police.
