A police investigation has found that a memorial stone at Shark Island in Luderitz was damaged by the forces of the weather and not vandalism.

The memorial tombstone was recently erected in remembrance of the Nama and Herero victims of the German genocide war.

The good rain received in Windhoek yesterday has brought with it some misery, leaving some residents homeless.

When it rains, it brings relief. But in most cases, the people who live in Windhoek's informal settlements fear floods when they see dark clouds.
