City Police HQ blaze under investigation Allexer Namundjembo The cause of a fire which occurred last week at the City Police headquarters in Windhoek remains unknown. The City of Windhoek stated that it is still investigating the incident that caused substantial damage to parts of the building.  Emergency services responded quickly after on-duty officers noticed smoke coming from the ceiling of an upper-floor hall. City Police spokesperson superintendent Merceline Murapo confirmed the damage in response to questions from the Windhoek Observer. “I can confirm that the incident did result in substantial damage to parts of the building, as well as to various items within,” she said. She said it is too early to estimate the total losses. “At this stage, we are still assessing the full extent of the damage, and more details will be shared once available,” Murapo said. The fire caused a temporary disruption to some operations.  Murapo, however, assured the public that police services remain active and available. “The City Police Service remains operational despite the incident. Our officers continue to carry out their duties, and the public can still reach us through our established contact numbers,” she said. “The cause of the fire has not yet been established. An investigation is currently underway, and until it is concluded, we are not in a position to speculate on the origin of the fire,” Murapo added. There is no timeline yet for when the investigation will be completed.  However, she said her department will update the public when more information is available. In February, the municipality launched campaigns to educate schools and community centres about fire safety.  The recent incident has renewed focus on emergency preparedness and infrastructure resilience. The city is also assessing the extent of damage to internal data, files, and equipment. In the meantime, City Police officers remain on duty, maintaining law and order in the capital.

20 died on Windhoek roads since January Erasmus Shalihaxwe The Windhoek City Police say 20 people have died in road accidents around the capital since January 2025, with reckless driving named as the main cause. According to statistics released this week, the number of deaths has increased from 11 during the same period last year.  The police reported a total of 131 head-on collisions since the start of the year, and 335 drivers were fined for violating traffic laws.  The police expressed concern over a growing trend of drivers deliberately ignoring red lights across the city.  “The City Police has seen a gradual increase in the number of head-to-side type collisions, many of which are directly linked to the reckless running of red traffic signals,” they said. They added, “Statistics reveal that from January 2025 to date, 131 head-on collisions have been reported, while 335 drivers were fined for disregarding red traffic signals. In the effort to maintain order and curb this life-threatening behaviour, it is observed that driver attitude remains a key contributing factor.” The police stressed that the habit of ignoring red lights has become normal among many motorists, which is a major cause of fatal accidents.  “To compound matters even worse, the City Police have seen 20 deaths on the roads so far this year, which, when compared to this time last year, is 11 more deaths. Regrettably, the act of ignoring red traffic signals, which is one among other contributing factors to this carnage on our roads, has become normalised by many motorists – a trend which is discouraged,” they said. They reminded drivers that a red traffic signal indicates a stop, and they only grant the right of way when the green light appears.  Police also noted that many drivers try to beat the amber (orange) light, often at high speed, which poses a serious danger to other road users. “The provision of the law in terms of Section 75 of the road traffic and transport act, 1999 (Act No. 22 of 1999) talks about failure to comply with the direction of a road traffic sign, and violation of this provision in terms of red traffic signals leads to a fine of N$2,500,” the City Police stated.

City police say Yango, InDrive operating without approval Allexer Namundjebo The Windhoek City Police says that ride-hailing platforms Yango and InDrive are not formally registered as public transport providers with the City of Windhoek. City Police spokesperson, Superintendent Mercilline Murapo, said that, despite their digital nature, vehicles offering transport services for hire or reward within the city must have valid operating permits, as required by municipal and national transport laws.  “As of now, Yango and InDrive are not authorised to operate as taxis within the city of Windhoek,” Murapo said. She said the City Police continues to enforce transport regulations and carry out roadblocks and inspections to identify unauthorised operators.  She said vehicles found without proper permits are fined or face legal action. “To safeguard commuters and ensure transparency, the City Police regularly conduct roadblocks and targeted inspections. We also encourage passengers to make use of clearly marked, licensed taxis and shuttles that comply with safety and identification standards,” Murapo said. She added that the City Police are working with national regulators to establish a legal framework for app-based transport services.  The goal is to ensure accountability and public safety across the growing digital transport sector. This comes as transport minister Veikko Nekundi said last month that Yango is not legally authorised to operate in Windhoek.  Speaking on a local radio station, Nekundi said all public transport providers must meet legal requirements outlined by the city and national law.  However, Yango has denied operating unlawfully.  The company said it acts only as a digital platform connecting passengers with independent drivers.  In a statement issued last week, Yango said, “Each partner is responsible for obtaining the necessary permits and complying with all applicable laws. Yango is committed to operating in full compliance with the laws and regulations of every market, including Namibia. We actively engage with relevant authorities and regulatory bodies to align our services with all applicable requirements.” Yango confirmed it is in discussions with the ministry of works and transport, but no details have been made public. Concerns over Yango’s legality were raised last year by local shuttle operator Lefa.  On 29 April 2024, Lefa founder Melkies Ausiku said the company was at risk of shutting down due to what he called “unfair and unlawful” competition.  He claimed Yango enables unlicensed and uninsured drivers to operate freely, undercutting law-abiding businesses.  In July last year, Lefa escalated the matter by sending a legal letter of demand to the Windhoek City Police, the Namibian Police, and the Namibia Tourism Board.  The letter alleged that many Yango drivers lack required road carrier permits, tourism transport licenses, and passenger liability insurance, as mandated by the Road Transportation Act of 1977 and the Namibia Tourism Board Act of 2000. Lefa also filed a formal complaint with the Namibian Competition Commission on 26 April 2024.  The company asked the Commission to investigate Yango’s pricing model and possible violations of the Competition Act.  While Lefa said it supports fair competition, it maintained that all operators must obey the law.  The company warned that without regulatory action, the local transport sector could collapse.

LPM, AR demand action after City Police clash with vendors Allexer Namundjebo The Landless People’s Movement has demanded the urgent finalisation and publication of the reviewed informal trading bylaws with the clear engagement of vendor associations, trade unions, and social movements.  The party made the call in a statement issued by its acting deputy spokesperson, William Minnie, following an incident between Windhoek City Police and street vendors last week along Werner List Street. “We call for the immediate suspension and disciplinary action against the officers involved in the act. We further demand a transparent and time-bound investigation into ongoing police misconduct against vendors,” Minnie said.  He described the police’s actions as dehumanising and a violation of the dignity and socio-economic rights of vulnerable citizens. The confrontation, part of the city’s “My City, My Pride” operation, aimed to remove vendors from non-designated trading areas. The City of Windhoek said it launched the operation after complaints from formal businesses about obstructions.  It stated that informal trading is not allowed on Werner List Street, but that alternative demarcated zones are available in the CBD. City spokesperson Lydia Amutenya said officers found two vendors trading illegally.  She said the vendors refused to relocate or pay a fine, which resulted in the officers taking action.  “A warning shot was discharged into the air strictly as a safety precaution, not as an act of aggression,” she said.  “No one was arrested. The aim was corrective, not punitive.” The Affirmative Repositioning movement condemned the incident.  AR Khomas regional chairperson Sem David said, “We strongly condemn the recent acts of brutality exhibited by members of the Windhoek City Police against innocent street vendors, particularly our hustling mothers trying to make an honest living.” David alleged that officers violently harassed a female vendor and pulled a firearm on unarmed citizens.  “This level of aggression is unacceptable, unjustified, and deeply concerning,” he said.  David also said the movement had previously written to the city with peaceful proposals but received no response.  “They must either be brought to order or removed from the force,” he said, warning of “radical action” if such conduct continues. Street vendor Ruthima Lungi said the designated trading areas are too far from customers.  “You can sit there the whole day and just get N$10. We are selling so we can support our families,” she said in an interview with local media.  She explained that vendors move with their goods to attract buyers. Another vendor, Adeline Mukuve, said police routinely patrol to check for vendors.  “It seems like we have become criminals now. We go there to hustle for our kids; we are not criminals,” she said. “They are even wasting petrol for the municipality.” The City of Windhoek enforces bylaws that prohibit trading on certain streets, including Werner List.  Similar confrontations have occurred in the past, especially in the Central Business District, where many informal traders, mostly women, sell goods on sidewalks and roadways. When the City of Windhoek instructs vendors to relocate or risk fines and goods seizure, conflicts frequently emerge.  Many resist due to the poor business conditions in the designated zones.  Incidents have included reports of vendors being manhandled, goods confiscated, and force used by officers.

Windhoek City Police Crack Down On Illegal Street Trading [Namibian] The City of Windhoek says it remains committed to enforcing municipal by-laws following a recent operation to address unauthorised street trading in the capital's central business district (CBD).

Windhoek City Police crack down on illegal street trading The City of Windhoek says it remains committed to enforcing municipal by-laws following a recent operation to address unauthorised street trading in the capital’s central business district (CBD). The Windhoek City Police launched an operation called ‘My City, My Pride’ on 13 May to curb informal trading in zone 14, prompted by complaints from formal business owners about vendors obstructing entrances and disturbing customers on Werner List Street. The city’s town planning scheme prohibits informal trading along this street. To support vendors, designated trading areas have been established elsewhere in the CBD, with converted parking bays demarcated and numbered for orderly use. However, the city says some traders have ignored these allocations, setting up in front of Shoprite’s entrance or in the middle of the road, creating safety hazards for themselves and the public. “Our priority is to maintain order and safety in the CBD, while also providing opportunities for informal traders,” says the City in a statement. This operation is part of of city’s efforts to balance the needs of informal traders with the rights of formal businesses and public safety. In the meantime, the city has also stressed that enforcing by-laws is essential for a safe and well-organised CBD, as designated trading areas aim to support vendors without disrupting the urban framework. “We urge all informal traders to use the designated trading areas provided by the city.” “These areas have been carefully selected to ensure that traders can operate safely and effectively without disrupting the flow of traffic or inconveniencing other businesses,” the City says. The post Windhoek City Police crack down on illegal street trading appeared first on The Namibian.

City Police cracks down on child beggars Hertta-Maria Amutenja The Windhoek City Police, in partnership with social services and other stakeholders, are developing a plan to address the growing presence of child beggars at intersections in Windhoek. This follows a recent incident in which a young boy narrowly escaped serious injury while begging at a busy intersection in the central business district. City Police spokesperson Marcelline Murapo said the dangers posed by high-traffic areas and the ongoing efforts to tackle the issue.  She said that while Windhoek municipal bylaws impose a N$500 fine for loitering, begging, or obstructing streets, the City Police are prioritising rehabilitation over punishment. “In cases where children are found begging, we do not immediately resort to punitive measures. We focus on reintegrating them back into their families or providing them with the necessary social support. We understand the complexity of the situation. Rather than just fining children or individuals found begging, our priority is to address the root causes, which often involve poverty, family challenges, and a lack of social support,” Murapo explained. She confirmed that child begging incidents have been recorded, with some resulting in serious harm. “There have been incidents where a homeless person was killed and another narrowly avoided death while begging at an intersection,” Murapo added. Although there is no direct law prohibiting the act of giving money to children begging on the streets, Murapo emphasized that the Namibian Constitution, as well as various parliamentary Acts, aim to protect children from exploitation.  The Child Care and Protection Act (Act 3 of 2015) prohibits the use of children in criminal activities, including begging, while the Labour Act (Act 11 of 2007) also bans employment for children under 14 and restricts hazardous work for those aged 14-18, indirectly addressing forced begging. The initiative focuses not only on removing children from the streets but also on offering long-term solutions aimed at preventing future cases of begging. “The collaboration between the City Police and social services is aimed at reintegrating children back into their families or placing them in the care of appropriate social services. We are looking beyond temporary measures and focusing on sustainable support for these children and their families,” said Murapo. She said the issue of child begging is not just about public safety; it also poses significant risks to the children involved.  Murapo confirmed that there have been incidents where children or homeless individuals were injured or even killed while begging at busy intersections.  “There have been cases of homeless people being killed, and others narrowly escaping death while begging. This is a serious concern for both the children and other road users,” she added.

I don't remember the last time they WERE nonpartisan. This isn't new. Toronto Police pass the buck at every turn. Nothing is within their jurisdiction anymore. It's all Trudeau's fault. All of it.

Finding this more and more amongst the #CityPolice, as opposed to the #RCMP. Here in BC too.
