Sostenus Wilherm The office of the judiciary and the Namibian Police Force (Nampol) have extended the amnesty period for motorists with outstanding traffic admission of guilt fines by two months. The amnesty, which was initially due to end on 30 September 2026, will now run until 30 November 2026, following what the judiciary described as overwhelming requests from affected motorists for additional time to settle their outstanding fines. The judiciary and Nampol said the extension follows a positive response to the amnesty programme, which was initially announced on 3 August 2026. The extension applies specifically to the payment of outstanding traffic admission of guilt fines. However, motorists with outstanding warrants of arrest or matters requiring further court action have been warned that these will be dealt with by the courts in accordance with the Criminal Procedure Act, Act 51 of 1977. “The manner in which an individual matter is finalised remains subject to the direction of the presiding magistrate and the applicable legal procedures,” the judiciary said. Motorists can settle their fines in person at the court where the notice to appear in court was issued. Payments will be accepted from Monday to Friday during normal working hours. Alternatively, payments can be made through electronic funds transfer (EFT) using the designated bank account for the relevant court. Those paying through EFT must use the summons number, which appears in red at the top right-hand corner of the notice to appear in court, as the payment reference. The name of the relevant court, indicated as the “place of trial” on the notice, must also be used. Proof of payment, together with the relevant reference number, must then be submitted to the designated contact person at the applicable district court. The judiciary has provided banking and contact details covering six court divisions. The Rundu division, covering Rundu and Katima Mulilo, uses the office of the judiciary Rundu account, while the Otjiwarongo division covers Otjiwarongo, Outjo, Khorixas, Okakarara, Grootfontein, Otavi and Tsumkwe. The Windhoek division covers Windhoek, Rehoboth, Okahandja, Otjinene and Gobabis, while the Swakopmund division covers Swakopmund, Walvis Bay, Usakos, Karibib and Omaruru. The Keetmanshoop division covers Keetmanshoop, Karasburg, Lüderitz, Oranjemund, Bethanie, Maltahöhe, Mariental and Aranos. The Oshakati division covers Oshakati, Outapi, Opuwo, Tsumeb, Ondangwa and Eenhana. The judiciary and Nampol urged affected motorists to take advantage of the extended period and settle their outstanding admission of guilt fines before the new deadline. The institutions also advised motorists seeking assistance or clarification to approach court personnel at the relevant district court. Photo: Contributed #WindhoekObserver

Staff Reporter CHINESE-owned mining company, Xinfeng Mining, alongside its Namibian partner company, Long Fire Investments, have taken the Minister of Home Affairs, Immigration, Safety and Security and several police officers to court after having been locked out of its mining site in Uis. The urgent application brought before the High Court seeks two types of relief. In Part A, it seeks an order restoring to them the possession of the lithium beneficiation plant in Uis and the five containers at the site, from which they have been excluded since 10 September 2026 by locks placed by members of the Namibian Police Force. Xinfeng claims that the locking of the mine was done without any court order or any statutory authority. In Part B of the relief, Xinfeng is asking the High Court to issue a declaration that the warrant is invalid, and setting aside of every step taken under it, including any seizure, the release of every article seized or restrained, and an interdict against further interference, unless under a valid warrant, and costs of suit. The warrant which led to the locking of the mining site included the seizure of mining trucks, to wit, a Howo 371 and 290 Dumper Trucks, Caterpillar Machines, Dozer Machines, Galion Machines, Compressor Machines, Quantum mini-bus, five drill Machines, and Tank Trucks, on suspicion of illegal mining activities. Xinfeng argued that the warrant was used beyond its terms, as it did not authorise the locking of the plant or containers. In response, Head of the Specialised Investigation Division of the Namibian Police, Deputy Commissioner Bartholomeus de Klerk, said that he has conceded that the search warrant is defective due to incorrect sections being cited in the Criminal Procedure, some of which do not exist. De Klerk said that this points to a failure by the Magistrate to apply his or her mind properly to the subject matter. “Despite the review relief being conceded, the applicants are persisting in the interlocutory relief, which, in my respectful view, the applicants seek to weaponise to interfere with ongoing investigations of Nampol, the Mining Commission, and the Environmental Management Agency.” De Klerk said that the relief sought in Part B of the relief seeks to interdict and restrain the Police and the Minister of Home Affairs from interfering with Xinfeng’s possession of the mining plant, or their employees and representatives on site. He added that this would entail wide-ranging activities, such as taking into custody foreign nationals who do not possess the requisite employment permits but are employed by Xinfeng. De Klerk said that during 2024, it came to the attention of the Namibian Police that Xinfeng and Long Fire Investments were conducting unlawful mining activities in Daures Constituency near Uis, Erongo Region. He added that the two companies, being joint venture partners, have carried out extensive mining operations outside of the areas in respect of which the mining claims are registered. The Police opened a criminal investigation into such illegal mining activities, which is currently still active. He added that on 8 September 2026, the Police obtained an additional affidavit from the Mining Commissioner, setting out the extent of the illegal mining activities which were conducted by the applicants. De Klerk said that during August 2026, the Police discovered that the applicants were in the process of removing the assets situated at Long Fire Investments mining site. “The information at our disposal is that some of the trucks were already moved to Nigeria. The applicant has also ceased all its mining activities. The only valuable assets on the site are the ore and the mining equipment,” De Klerk said. He added that the Police acted bona fide when they locked up the site, considering that the equipment was bulky and could not immediately be removed from the site.

Staff Reporter THE Namibian Police Force (NAMPOL) has warned motorists about a fraudulent website being circulated via SMS, WhatsApp and social media in connection with the ongoing amnesty on traffic admission of guilt fines. NAMPOL said the amnesty process and payment of traffic fines are still ongoing, but warned that the link does not belong to the police, any Namibian government ministry or an official e-payment platform. The police said the link is a phishing scam designed to obtain banking information, card details and one-time passwords (OTPs). NAMPOL urged members of the public not to click, open or share the link, and not to enter any personal or banking information if they receive it. Those who have received the link are advised to delete it immediately. The police further clarified that it does not use the .sbs domain or send SMS links requesting traffic fine payments, banking details, card information or OTPs. Members of the public are urged to verify suspicious links with the relevant authorities before taking any action. NAMPOL also commended motorists who consulted its offices before clicking on the fraudulent link, saying their caution helped alert others to the scam.

Staff Reporter THE Namibian Police in the Erongo Region are seeking public assistance in tracing a missing person identified as Roxenne Gamiros.

Sostenus Wilherm After 17 years of curriculum development, testing and review, the Namibian Police Force (Nampol) has secured accreditation for its basic police training programme. However, acting Inspector General Major General Anne-Marie Nainda said the achievement will have little meaning unless it translates into better policing and service delivery to the public. Nainda made the remarks during the official receipt of accreditation certificates at the Namibia Qualifications Authority (NQA) headquarters in Windhoek, where the Nampol Certificate in Policing was formally recognised at National Qualifications Framework (NQF) Level 5. She described the accreditation as more than an administrative milestone, saying it establishes a new professional standard for police recruits across the country. “The qualification is strategically designed for the members recruited into the Namibian Police Force exclusively; therefore it marks a defining moment in the standardisation of policing in Namibia,” Nainda said. The accredited Police Basic Course represents a significant expansion from the force’s previous training programme, which consisted of six core modules delivered over six months. The new programme runs for 12 months and includes 11 core modules, with the force saying it is designed to equip recruits with competencies suited to the changing demands of modern policing. Nainda said the journey towards accreditation was not achieved overnight, with curriculum development, institutional reflection, pilot testing and reviews taking place over 17 years. The formal accreditation drive was launched on 21 July 2022, followed by the submission of Nampol’s application to the NQA on 27 October 2023. The application underwent institutional audits, documentary verification, curriculum scrutiny, compliance assessments and technical engagement before accreditation was awarded on 11 June 2025, covering the period until June 2028, subject to reapplication in 2027. “The three-year accreditation period should not be viewed as a comfortable finish line. It should be treated as a period of active and constant institutional improvement,” she said. She said Nampol must continue strengthening its quality-assurance systems, reviewing training content and ensuring that police training keeps pace with evolving crimes and changes in the law. The revised curriculum also incorporates technology and legal developments, including advanced information and communication technology modules and updated legal frameworks. Nainda said traditional policing values such as discipline, resilience and physical fitness would remain central, but would now be strengthened by evidence-based practices, technology and professional accountability. The accreditation will apply across Nampol’s four training institutions: the Israel Patrick Iyambo Police College in Khomas, Ruben Danger Ashipala Police Training Centre in Oshana, Pius Joseph Kaundu Police Training Centre in Omaheke and Simon Mutumba Mutumba Police Training Centre in Zambezi. Nainda said this would ensure that recruits receive training against common national standards regardless of where they are trained. “Whether recruits are trained in Windhoek, Ondangwa, Gobabis, or Katima Mulilo, they will all be trained against common national standards,” she said. “This means that the quality of police training does not depend on the geographical training environment.” The force intends to pursue accreditation for additional strategic programmes, including instructional skills, traffic law enforcement and criminal investigation courses. Nainda also linked the professionalisation of police training to public trust, saying the ultimate test of the accreditation would not be the certificate itself but how officers conduct themselves when interacting with members of the public. “The public will ultimately judge this accreditation not only by the official seal on a certificate, but by the conduct of officers in their neighbourhoods; at police stations, on road patrols, during investigations, and across every routine encounter where a citizen seeks safety and justice,” she said. She urged police officers to maintain professional conduct and uphold high standards in their dealings with the public. “A professionally trained officer is not merely an agent of force, but a bearer of the policing torch and a guardian of the Constitution,” Nainda said. She said the real work begins after the accreditation, urging Nampol to translate the recognition into quality training, improved policing and efficient service delivery. “The foundation is laid. The standards are verified. The certificates are in our hands. Let us now translate this achievement into quality training, improved policing, and efficient service delivery to the Namibian people,” she said.

Staff Reporter THE Namibian Police Force (Nampol) in Usakos has clarified reports of a road blockade on the gravel road between Usakos and Henties Bay, saying the road is safe for motorists and that no robbery attempt was involved. The clarification follows a social media post warning motorists to avoid the route after reports that unknown individuals were allegedly blocking the road with tyres. According to Nampol Usakos, officers attended the reported incident at Klein Spitzkoppe, where an informal roadblock had been created. Police found that the tyres and rocks had been placed on the road by minors who were attempting to attract the attention of passing motorists and tourists to ask for food and money. The minors were subsequently rounded up and given a serious warning in the presence of their respective parents, police said. Nampol emphasised that there was no indication that the children intended to rob motorists or other road users travelling between Usakos and Henties Bay. Police said the road remains safe to use, while urging members of the public to report any suspicious or irregular activity directly to the authorities rather than relying on unverified reports on social media. Nampol also warned that unverified reports can have a negative impact on Namibia’s tourism industry by creating unnecessary safety concerns among visitors and travellers.

Staff Reporter G4S Secure Solutions (Namibia) has filed a case management report seeking directions from the High Court to dismiss a civil lawsuit by Namib Desert Diamonds (Namdia) (Pty) Ltd, which had sued the security company for over N$300 million for negligence in relation to a diamond heist. This is after Namdia failed to disclose evidence it wishes to lead against G4S in the lawsuit, which, among others, includes NAMPOL investigation docket(s) and all reports, witness statements, forensic reports, scene logs, evidence registers, and chain-of-custody documentation pertaining to the alleged incident. Other evidence sought also includes CCTV footage and any audio recordings pertaining to the incident, as well as documents reflecting the description, valuation and quantification of the diamonds. The state diamond entity has, however, declined to disclose these and many more, citing confidentiality reasons. Namdia claimed that it suffered damages amounting to N$314 million, for which it claims G4S is liable, as a result of the robbery on 18 January. G4S Secure Solutions (Namibia) concluded an agreement with Namdia for the provision of full-time remote monitoring and armed response services by G4S to Namdia in May 2024. On 18 January 2025, one of G4S’s employees, Samuel Shipanga, who had formed part of the G4S first responders, was found to be complicit in the robbery after he stole four parcels of diamonds at the robbery scene, where diamonds had allegedly been strewn all over the ground by robbers to create a distraction. Namdia claimed that G4S breached its agreement with it by being “grossly negligent” and that “it failed to react and prevent the theft of diamonds, despite its presence at the premises at the relevant time”. The lawyer representing G4S Secure Solutions Namibia, Charles Visser, has now sought directions from the High Court in making an application to dismiss Namdia’s claim, in terms of Rule 53(2)(c), with costs, on the grounds that Namdia, without reasonable explanation, failed to comply with two court orders in relation to disclosure of evidence. Namdia did not comply with court orders dated 21 April 2026 and 30 July 2026. He added that it also declined a proposal for documents to be reviewed in an in-chambers meeting with the Managing Judge, on the basis that G4S would not be permitted to copy or photograph them.

Staff Reporter TAKING the law into your own hands is illegal — everyone knows it. But growing frustration with crime has pushed some residents to do it anyway. A video clip circulating this week shows employees of a store assaulting at least three suspected shoplifters. Police spokesperson Deputy Commissioner Kauna Shikwambi said such actions are strictly prohibited. --- Video: Contributed --- “Community members are fully aware that taking the law into their own hands is against the law. Yet some still do exactly that, citing fatigue with endless criminal activities,” she said. According to her, assaulting suspects not only undermines the justice system but also exposes those involved to criminal charges. The police have persistently urged the public to report crimes to the police and allow due process to take its course, instead of resorting to mob justice. The police could not confirm whether any common assault cases have been registered. The post Mob justice not the answer, says Nampol after store assault incident appeared first on Informanté.

Staff Reporter A TOTAL of 4,965 gender-based violence (GBV) cases were recorded during the 2025/2026 financial year, with the Khomas, Ohangwena and Omusati regions recording the highest numbers of reported cases. This was recently confirmed by the Acting Inspector General of the Namibian Police (NamPol), Major General Anne-Marie Nainda, who clarified that previous reports indicating that more than 18,500 GBV cases had been recorded during the 2025/2026 financial year were incorrect.

Nainda revealed that, of the 4,965 reported GBV cases, 685 were recorded in the Khomas Region, 540 in the Ohangwena Region and 511 in the Omusati Region.

Staff Reporter THE Namibian Police Force has discovered human skeletal remains in rural Windhoek in the Satanslog area, believed to be those of missing man Beautus Tuna Kashanu Iiyambo. Iiyambo, a 26-year-old man from Onakaheke village in the Okahao Constituency of the Omusati Region, went missing on 12 January, a day after he arrived in Windhoek to start employment as a kapana seller. Deputy Commissioner Kauna Shikwambi, national spokesperson of the Namibian Police Force (NamPol), said the police attended to a scene involving suspected human skeletal remains discovered in a mountainous area approximately eight kilometres west of Otjomuise, in the Satanslog area, outside Windhoek. “It is alleged that on 18 August 2026, a man who was herding goats in the area came across what appeared to be human skeletal remains. He informed a fellow worker, and the two subsequently returned to the area on 19 August 2026. The matter was reported to the Otjomuise Police Station during the late evening of the same day; however, the police attended to the scene on the morning of 20 August 2026,” Shikwambi said. She added that several items were recovered at the scene, including one pair of brown khaki trousers, one grey Puma jersey, one pair of Havaianas sandals, an FNB bank card, a Bank Windhoek BOB card, cash, a voter registration card and a Namibian National Identity Card. The identification documents and financial cards bear the name Iiyambo Beatus Tuna Kashanu, who was born in Onakaheke. Iiyambo Beatus Tuna Kashanu was reported missing on 12 January 2026. “The remains were transported to the Namibian Police Forensic Science Institute, where forensic experts are conducting further examinations to establish the biological identity of the remains through DNA analysis. An autopsy will also be conducted to determine whether there are any indications of trauma or other findings that may assist the investigation,” Shikwambi said. She concluded that the Namibian Police Force was continuing with the investigation to establish the circumstances surrounding the death and the identity of the remains. “We appreciate the cooperation of members of the public and appeal to anyone with relevant information to come forward and assist the investigation by contacting Deputy Commissioner Fredrik Ndjadila on 081 2652 322 or the nearest police station,” Shikwambi urged.

Staff Reporter THE Procurement Unit within the Namibian Police Force (NamPol) will have to make an upfront payment of N$500,000.00 for the translation of Arabic text in the terrorism High Court case involving Jona Hangula. This was revealed during High Court proceedings on 20 August 2026, in which High Court Judge Hannelie Prinsloo ordered that the matter be postponed to 23 September 2026 to allow for the large number of Arabic documents in the case to be translated by a private company that has offered to provide its services. State Prosecutor in the matter, Advocate Laurens Campher, said that the procurement process was initiated due to a lack of High Court-admitted Arabic translators, as the only available one had moved abroad. Hangula faces 19 charges, ranging from terrorism funding and recruiting persons to become members of a terrorist organisation to contravening sections of the Namibian Immigration Act, among others. The State alleges that between 2015 and 2020, Hangula sought to recruit unemployed Namibian youth to join ISIS and Boko Haram, with the intention of overthrowing the Namibian Government to establish a new non-secular state in Namibia ruled by Muslim law. It is alleged that Hangula used platforms such as WhatsApp to recruit persons to become members of terrorist organisations or participate in proliferation activities. The lawyer representing Hangula, Joas Neemwatya, accepted the proposal to translate the Arabic documents, which is expected to take 10 working days. However, he asked that a sworn affidavit be provided confirming that the translators are indeed qualified. Judge Prinsloo, however, stated that the Prosecutor-General’s Office is well aware of the legal requirements for conducting matters involving translation and ordered that the matter be postponed to 23 September 2026, after which the case will move into the pre-trial phase.

Staff Reporter A TOTAL of 20 cases of murder were recorded countrywide between September 2025 and June 2026, while 261 cases of robbery with aggravating circumstances were recorded during the same period. This was announced by Major General Anne-Marie Nainda, the Acting Inspector-General of the Namibian Police Force (NamPol). She said this during the official launch of the September Amnesty Month 2026 – an initiative that aims to urge the public to hand over illegal arms, ammunition, armaments and other related materials to the police without legal consequences. She further revealed that more than 176 cases of pointing of a firearm were also reported between September 2025 and June 2026, while 88 cases of unauthorised possession of firearms were recorded during the same period. “Moreover, 170 cases of Possession of arms and ammunition, while 94 cases of theft of firearm were recorded during the same period. These statistics are a clear indication that crimes involving firearms are serious concerns for our society and the country in general,” Nainda said. She explained that Amnesty Month is a national call urging members of the public to surrender unlicensed weapons without fear of legal repercussions. She assured the public that the process is confidential and free of charge for those who voluntarily hand in their weapons. “The decision to surrender unlicensed weapons is not always an easy one. It often involves overcoming fear, mistrust, and a sense of vulnerability. However, I assure every citizen that this amnesty period is a genuine opportunity to make a difference without fear of legal repercussions. This is not about punishment; it is about prevention. It is about taking proactive steps to ensure that these dangerous items are removed from circulation before they can cause harm,” Nainda said. She explained that the police have put mechanisms in place to ensure the smooth and secure collection of surrendered weapons during Amnesty Month, with designated police stations across the country serving as safe points to hand over such weapons. “I would like to appeal to the public at large who are still in possession of illegal arms, ammunition, armaments, and other related materials to take advantage of this scarce period and surrender them at the nearest police stations,” Nainda urged.
