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 Otjiwarongo State Hospital is asking the public for assistance in identifying a male patient who has been hospitalised for nearly two months. The man, who is now in stable condition, suffers from memory loss after sustaining a head injury about four months ago. Dr. Nelson Johannes, senior medical officer at the hospital, said the patient was initially treated at Katutura State Hospital in Windhoek for two months before being transferred to Otjiwarongo. Although he occasionally speaks, his statements are unclear. He has given two different names: 'Daniel Kandafi' and 'Johnny Angeni' and is fluent in Oshiwambo. Anyone with information is urged to contact Otjiwarongo State Hospital. Eveline Paulus #NBCNews #nbcdigitalnews #nbcDSTV282 #nbcGOtv20 #nbcPlusApp

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.

Festus Petrus, the councillor of the Onesi constituency has confirmed that a man, believed to be a security guard at the Namwater offices in Epalela, was bitten by a crocodile spotted today at the Etaka dam in the Omusati region. The incident occurred when the man sat on the reptile to take pictures, after which it bit him on the left arm. He was promptly taken to Outapi District Hospital, where he is currently in stable condition. The injured crocodile is now submerged in shallow waters along the banks of the Etaka dam, with local residents surrounding the area to prevent its escape. This is a developing story.

Members of the banned United Democratic Party (UDP) gathered at the Choto Grounds today, where they awaited a police escort to submit a petition calling for the secession of the Zambezi Region from Namibia. The group, whose party was banned in 2007 for its secessionist agenda, is marching to the regional governor’s office to formally submit their appeal. Their petition reiterates the long-standing goal of separating the Zambezi Region, historically known as the Caprivi Strip, from the rest of Namibia.

Today, we visited the Olievenhoutbosch Substation, which has burned down due to cable theft and vandalism. The fire erupted around 2 am on the 24th and lasted for the better half of Christmas Day. We would like to appreciate EMS and TMPD for their swift response and efforts to contain this unfortunate incident. The Electricity Department has started the process to restore power and has established that Transformer A has suffered heavy damage and is irreparable; however, the second transformer (Transformer B), has passed all tests and together with Transformer R, which is the spare, will be ready for supplying enough electricity to the affected areas. The specialised dry-ice cleaning has been conducted on the busbars to safely remove fire residue and contaminants without further damaging sensitive electrical equipment, and as the team remains hard at work to replace other components, such as cabling, critical to the safe restoration of power. We would like to apologise to the community members affected by this criminal activity and the inconvenience caused by the fire on our infrastructure and Law Enforcement agencies have started the investigation to bring the perpetrators to book. We furthermore request our residents to exercise patience as the restoration process is delayed by the pouring of rain, which makes it difficult for the technical teams to function optimally.
