A 34-year-old man is receiving treatment at Katima Mulilo State Hospital after surviving a lion attack in the Kasika area, Kabbe South constituency, on Thursday. Nsundano Libuku, a local fisherman, said he was herding his grandfather's cattle towards a stream with two friends when they noticed the cattle suddenly dispersing. Upon closer inspection, he reported, they discovered a calf they suspected had been killed by a lion. Moments later, he heard the lion roar and saw it immediately pounce on him. He responded by stabbing the animal on its forehead with his spear. During the struggle, he was injured on his left hand, right cheek, neck, and the left side of his head and ear. He added that the animal loosened from the spear and instantly ran off. Nsundano said they only noticed the presence of a second lion after the first one fled. He also said his two friends could not assist because they had no weapons to defend themselves or him. He was treated by officials from the Nakabolelwa Conservancy before being taken to Kasika Clinic, then transported to Katima Mulilo by ambulance. Ministry of Environment, Forestry and Tourism officials confirmed they had received the incident report and would respond in due course.

Operi Zamuee appeared in the Swakopmund Magistrate's Court on charges of fraud, theft, money laundering and contravening the Prevention of Organised Crime Act.

The Ministry of Environment, Forestry and Tourism says it is gravely concerned about a video circulating on social media showing a man carrying a baboon carcass on his shoulder. The ministry’s spokesperson, Vilho Hangula, clarified that the animal was struck by a motor vehicle and that the individual unlawfully retrieved the carcass. The ministry advised motorists to drive carefully when leaving Windhoek for Okahandja to avoid hitting baboons, which are common around the Brakwater area. Hangula also warned the public to refrain from touching or consuming baboon carcasses from road accidents, because these animals may carry zoonotic diseases and parasites that can endanger human health. Members of the public are urged to report any illegal wildlife activity or injured animals to the ministry or to local authorities immediately.

Children of businessman Frans Aupa Indongo, along with other family members, took to the streets to demand the resignation of Martin Shipanga, Chairman of the Indongo Group, and Salomon “Solly” Amadhila, Chairman of the Indongo Trust. The demonstrators marched to the Indongo family homestead at Continental Number One at Oshakati, where they presented a petition outlining their concerns. However, the petition was not received, as the office of the Chairman of the Indongo Trust was closed at the time of their arrival. In their petition, the family members called for greater representation of the founder's children and immediate family in the governance structures of the Indongo Group and Indongo Trust. They argued that, as members of the founder's immediate family, they should have a meaningful role in decision-making concerning the future of the institutions established by Indongo, including matters relating to his legacy, interests and long-term wishes. The family members expressed concern that their voices and interests have allegedly been excluded from important discussions concerning the group's business affairs and the future management of the founder's legacy because his children and family members were removed from the board. They further called for a review of the positions and terms of office of Shipanga and Amadhila, alleging that their respective terms had expired. The family raised concerns regarding who holds the authority to renew or extend the terms of office for Shipanga and Amadhila. They also called for greater clarity and transparency in the governance arrangements. The demonstrators are demanding that both Shipanga and Amadhila step down from their positions with immediate effect. Beyond governance issues, the family is also calling for greater financial support for the founder's children and family members. Their demands reportedly include assistance with education and further studies, medical support, business opportunities and other forms of necessary family assistance. They said the family wants the institutions associated with Frans Aupa Indongo's legacy to operate on principles of transparency, accountability, respect, proper governance and meaningful family representation.

A 34-year-old man is receiving treatment at Katima Mulilo State Hospital after surviving a lion attack in the Kasika area, Kabbe South constituency, on Thursday. Nsundano Libuku, a local fisherman, said he was herding his grandfather's cattle towards a stream with two friends when they noticed the cattle suddenly dispersing. Upon closer inspection, he reported, they discovered a calf they suspected had been killed by a lion. Moments later, he heard the lion roar and saw it immediately pounce on him. He responded by stabbing the animal on its forehead with his spear. During the struggle, he was injured on his left hand, right cheek, neck, and the left side of his head and ear. He added that the animal loosened from the spear and instantly ran off. Nsundano said they only noticed the presence of a second lion after the first one fled. He also said his two friends could not assist because they had no weapons to defend themselves or him. He was treated by officials from the Nakabolelwa Conservancy before being taken to Kasika Clinic, then transported to Katima Mulilo by ambulance.

During Tuesday’s parliamentary debates, Affirmative Repositioning (AR) MP Fredrick Shitana raised concerns about the design of the new Namibia Dollar notes, specifically the absence of a young springbok. Shitana said that, while the note features male and female springboks, symbolising the first generation, the young springbok is missing, leading him to conclude that the younger generation is not represented. “The young ones were removed from this. The young generation is no longer represented on this note. What happened? Was it stolen, or was it burnt in Etosha?” he asked. In response, Minister of Finance Ericah Shafudah acknowledged Shitana’s attention to financial developments and said that the current number of animals on the note is acceptable as long as the note remains secure and safe.

Family members accompanied by officials have arrived at the Gugulethu Cemetery in Cape Town, where Namibian political prisoner Simon Niilenge is buried. Niilenge died on Robben Island in 1974. His remains, together with those of fellow political prisoner Festus Nehale, are expected to be exhumed on Thursday and Friday as part of a programme to repatriate them to Namibia from South Africa. The remains will be prepared for transportation to Namibia, where Niilenge and Nehale are expected to be reburied as Namibia commemorates Heroes’ Day. The repatriation programme also includes 84 human remains held at the Iziko Museum of South Africa. The remains are largely those of the San, Nama, Damara, Ovaherero and Aawambo people whose bodies were taken from Namibia following the genocide committed between 1904 and 1908. Historical records indicate that some of the remains were transported to South Africa and other countries for scientific research and experiments.

The situation reached new heights when some Namibians jokingly renamed Nigeria “Abegistan.” Amid the online chaos, Nigerian youth Ezeani Sylvanus Obiora chose to publicly side with Namibia, a move that captured the attention of many. In response, a WhatsApp fundraiser was launched to help bring him to Namibia. Upon arrival, the organising committee treated him to kapana as one of his first stops in the country. He is also expected to travel to the coast as part of his Namibian experience. Obiora has since been renamed Tangeni by the online community.

Motorists in Windhoek were left stunned after a group of Angolan street vendors were seen bathing and washing their clothes in public following a burst water pipe near the circle intersection opposite Hartlief and Meatco. According to Linda Katyoka, one of the individuals at the scene, the group noticed water leaking from the damaged pipe and used the opportunity to bathe and wash their clothes. “We did not know that we were not allowed to bathe there. Where we stay, we do not have water and do not get the opportunity to bathe,” Katyoka explained to the NBC team. The incident attracted attention from members of the public, prompting officers from the City of Windhoek Police to intervene. Police instructed the individuals to get dressed immediately, explaining that bathing in public was inappropriate and damaging to the image of the city.

Windhoek City Police traffic officers are analysing recordings of an incident that took place in Khomasdal to identify and trace the drivers. CCTV footage from the intersection of Kornalyn Street at Park Foods in Khomasdal shows clear examples of reckless driving by motorists during the morning rush. The footage captures vehicles overtaking in restricted areas and stopping past designated stop lines at traffic lights. Last week, Minister of Works and Transport Veikko Nekundi directed all police and traffic units to submit weekly recordings of reckless driving to his office. The footage will be used to identify drivers whose conduct may lead to suspension or cancellation of their driving licences.
