A 16-year-old boy has been commended for his swift actions after rescuing twin babies who were thrown into a pond by their mother in Omutundungu village, located in the Omusati Region.
Cornelius Shimwaafeni, a learner at Nicodemus Primary School, was herding livestock near the pond when he witnessed the incident.
Shimwaafeni said he could not stand by and watch the 9-month-old twins drown.
He narrated that he rushed to the pond and pulled both children from the water, and administered CPR before rushing them to the elders at nearby cuca shops for help.
Shimwaafeni’s actions have garnered admiration from both family and community members, with many hailing him as a hero for intervening to save the lives of the twins.
The twins have been discharged from the hospital and are now in the care of their 47-year-old father, while their mother remains in custody facing two counts of attempted murder.
Shimwaafeni expressed his eagerness to recount his heroic actions when school resumes, and his classmates inquire about their holiday experiences.

Construction of a new luxury hotel development, The Admiral, has officially commenced along The Esplanade in Walvis Bay, marking a further expansion of Namibia’s high-end coastal hospitality offering.
The 24-room hotel, which forms part of the Gondwana Collection Namibia portfolio, is scheduled to open in December 2027 and is expected to strengthen the group’s presence along the coast.
Located overlooking the Flamingo Lagoon and the Atlantic Ocean, the development is positioned within close proximity to the harbour, Walvis Bay International Airport and key tourism attractions, including Sandwich Harbour.
The project has been designed by Namibian architect Conrad Scheffer, with a concept inspired by the lines and design of luxury yachts.
The building will incorporate a wind-adaptive façade suited to coastal conditions, while maximising ocean-facing views.
