The Minister of Home Affairs, Immigration, Safety and Security has called on border security officers to put an end to rampant stock theft in Kavango West Region. 

Dr. Albert Kawana made the call when he inaugurated phase one of the Namasira police post refurbishment with prefabricated material.

Dr. Kawana says the government continues to improve the living conditions of special field force officers by constructing accommodation facilities along the border.

He called for intensified patrols on the Angola-Namibia border to curb stock theft.

The co-owner of the Craft Bistro at the Windhoek Craft Centre, Petra Illing has withdrawn her lawsuit against the Ministry of Home Affairs, Immigration, Safety and Security.

Illing’s latest action comes after she and the ministry reached an agreement.

Part of the agreement states that the ministry will no longer undertake to arrest or detain Illing for not being in possession of a visa, pending the determination of Illing’s short-term employment visa which was submitted last in December 2022.

Former President Hifikepunye Pohamba is humbled by the decision to name the new Home Affairs, Immigration, Safety, and Security Headquarters after him.

Pohamba has been honored as the founding minister of the Home Affairs Ministry following Namibia's independence.

President Geingob described the naming as fair, given Pohamba's role as founding minister and later as second president.
