Fellow citizens, I strongly believe it would be beneficial and ideal to deploy ambulances at accident hotspot roads, similar to how traffic officers operate. This way, they can respond to emergencies more quickly than if they are stationed at their usual stations. For example,
Four people have died, and 18 others have been injured in a road accident on the Okahandja-Otjiwarongo road, approximately 120 kilometres from Otjiwarongo, this morning.
A 16-seater bus belonging to Holms Construction, which was travelling from Windhoek, was carrying 15 occupants, one of whom died, while 14 others were injured.
Three people, including the driver of the small bakkie that was travelling from Otjiwarongo, also died at the scene. Four additional occupants sustained injuries.
The police are yet to release an official statement on the accident, and further details regarding the circumstances of the crash are pending.

A story from Zim about 15 years ago. One of the car tracking companies sent out an alert that a hijacked South African registered Range Rover was doing over 400 kms per hour in a perfectly straight line over Zimbabwe and stopped in Angola. Turns out it was in a military plane.
Trust is the Key Towards Building Sustainable Businesses
Businessman David Sheehama of Kambwa Trading CC has urged entrepreneurs to make honesty and reliability central to their business operations, saying customer trust is essential for long-term growth.
Speaking as a guest speaker during the Digital Transformation and Entrepreneurship Engagement, Sheehama cautioned entrepreneurs against promising customers products or services they cannot provide.
“You should do what you say,” he said, stressing that businesses must honour their commitments, particularly when it comes to deliveries.
Sheehama said entrepreneurs should communicate honestly with customers when challenges such as stock shortages or transport problems arise, rather than providing false information. He said building trust within communities can strengthen customer relationships, encourage repeat business and contribute to sustainable growth.

Efficiency and execution are critical areas where the public sector can learn from private enterprise. In August 2024, Capricorn Group broke ground on their Independence Avenue development, today, exactly two years later, it is fully finished. In contrast, the NAMFISA headquarters project along Independence Avenue stared 2 months earlier, remains far from complete. Strategic accountability and project delivery make all the difference!
Large grass fires have been reported between Okahandja and Karibib, with the blaze burning on the left side of the road.
The fire department and volunteers are currently on site working to contain the fires.
Motorists travelling along the route are urged to exercise caution due to smoke across the road and the presence of emergency vehicles.
The alert was issued on Monday, 24 August by the Ministry of Environment, Forestry and Tourism.
