Ekandjo calls on NFA leadership to rally behind Brave Warriors


WINDHOEK: Tim Ekandjo, Chief Human Capital, Marketing and Corporate Affairs Officer of Mobile Telecommunications Limited (MTC), is urging the recently-elected Namibia Football Association leadership to support the senior national football team and avoid dampening their achievement of qualification.

He said this on Friday while announcing the N.dollars 2.4 million injection towards the Brave Warriors’ preparation for the upcoming 2023 African Cup of Nations (AFCON) slated for Ivory Coast from 13 January to 11 February 2024.

Ekandjo’s comments come after a Scottish coach, Simon McMenemy, and his technical team, were rumoured to replace the incumbent Collin Benjamin and his team by 01 January 2024.

Ekandjo said for now the nation should all dedicate their efforts to ensure that the team is in the right frame of mind, with no negativity around its set-up.

‘We owe it to the entire team to go and finish what they have achieved thus far. The qualification period was an extremely difficult and challenging one for
the Brave Warriors considering that they had to endure playing away from home,’ said Ekandjo.

He added MTC is proud to see the Brave Warriors grow from strength to strength.

‘We recognise the triumphant display of perseverance from our national team. Despite various challenges faced, the boys, coach and entire management bravely forged forward and like true warriors, qualified for the upcoming 2023 African top-tier football tournament, AFCON,’ said Ekandjo.

Meanwhile, Director of Sport Jo-Ann Manuel echoed Ekanjo’s sentiments stating that for the first time in 25 years, the Brave Warriors stand a chance of progressing beyond the group stages, taking into account the team’s performance of late.

MTC through its annual innovative initiative, the MTC Knockout Project, in early November announced its intention to raise funds amongst corporate Namibia and boost the Brave Warriors campaign towards the continental tournament to be held in Ivory Coast.

The project aimed to collect N.dollars 5 million, but unfortu
nately, could only raise N.dollars 2.4 million. The Road Fund Administration and the National Housing Enterprise showed their support by contributing N.dollars 100 000 each. Another N.dollars 150 000 was added to the project funds from the gate takings of the Dr Hage Geingob Cup, and the Namibia Special Risk Insurance Association gave N.dollars 50 000. MTC provided N.dollars 2 million to the project.

In Group E, the Brave Warriors will face South Africa, Tunisia and Mali. Their opening match of the championship is scheduled for 16 January 2024, against Tunisia in Korhogo.

Man Detained for Alleged Rape of Ex-Girlfriend at Riverside Location


Bethanie, Namibia: A 41-year-old man was apprehended on Saturday in Bethanie for the alleged rape of his 38-year-old ex-girlfriend. The incident reportedly occurred at Riverside location, spanning from Friday evening to Saturday morning.



According to Namibia Press Agency (NAMPA), the suspect allegedly assaulted and dragged the victim to his house, where he forced himself on her several times. The victim reported that their relationship had ended, a claim contested by the suspect, who insists they are still together. Namibian Police Force (NamPol) Spokesperson, Deputy Commissioner Kauna Shikwambi, confirmed that the suspect is scheduled to appear before the Bethanie Magistrate’s Court on Tuesday.



In a separate case in Katima Mulilo, a 27-year-old man voluntarily surrendered to the police after allegedly breaking into a house and raping a 19-year-old woman on Saturday. The suspect, now facing charges of rape, housebreaking with intent to rape, and assault by threatening, is accused of cutting the chain of a padlock to gain entry into the house. The victim, along with her two friends and two younger brothers, were asleep at the time of the incident.



The attack in Katima Mulilo took place around 3:00 am, as reported by Shikwambi. The suspect reportedly threatened the occupants, claiming he would shoot them if they screamed. He then allegedly pulled the victim from her bed and raped her on a mattress where her younger siblings were sleeping. The suspect is expected to appear before the Katima Mulilo Magistrate’s Court on Tuesday.

Two Women Victimized in Separate Incidents of Rape and Robbery


Swakopmund, Namibia: In two separate but equally horrifying incidents, women in Namibia were subjected to rape and robbery in the early hours of Saturday. The first incident occurred in Swakopmund’s Matutura, Mondesa, where a woman was robbed and raped by a man on the main road.



According to Namibia Press Agency (NAMPA), Deputy Commissioner Kauna Shikwambi, the attack in Swakopmund happened between 2:00 and 3:00 am. The perpetrator, wielding a knife, robbed the victim of her possessions valued at N.dollars 1,550. Following the robbery, he forced the victim to perform oral sex and then raped her. Despite the severity of the incident, no arrests have been made, nor have any of the stolen items been recovered.



Simultaneously, in Okahandja, another woman fell victim to a brutal attack. This incident involved a 30-year-old woman who was gang-raped and robbed in a riverbed by two men. The attack reportedly took place around 2:30 am at the Saamstaan location in Okahandja. The victim, walking home from a bar with friends, was assaulted when she momentarily separated from her group. The attackers threatened her with knives, forcing her to comply, and proceeded to rape her. In addition to the sexual assault, the victim was robbed of her black smartwatch and wig, collectively valued at N.dollars 1,000. Although she managed to recover the discarded wig, the smartwatch remains missing, and no arrests have been made in this case either.



These incidents highlight a concerning trend of violent crimes in the region, with the police continuing their investigations to apprehend the perpetrators and ensure public safety.
