Geingob reaches out to Nchindos… family could access BDF killing report
2021-04-27
President Hage Geingob has said government will consider the request by the family of the three brothers and a cousin, who were gunned down by members of the Botswana Defence Force (BDF) late last year, to view the contents of the report into the killing. The three brothers, Tommy (48), Martin (40) and Wamunyima Nchindo (36), and their cousin Sinvula Muyeme (44), were shot by the BDF on 5 November last year along the Chobe River.
Geingob, according to press secretary Alfredo Hengari, said this during a meeting between him and the Nchindo family at Impalila Island in the Zambezi region on Sunday.

Multiple ownership in the Namibian fishing industry’s days are number, according to the minister of Fisheries and Marine Resources, Dr Albert Kawana.
In this regard, stated Dr. Kawana on Tuesday in a televised broadcast, a comprehensive study would be embarked upon to assess how many individuals and fishing companies are owning shares in more than one fishing entity.
Some individuals and also fishing companies own stakes in various companies and in doing so are getting an unfair share of the country’s natural resources. Dr Kawana referred to this as “an anomaly”.
At the same time, the Ministry of Fisheries and Marine Resources will also tighten control over fishing companies using other people’s names, or the names of community organisations and charities, to get quotas. These charities never benefit from these fishing rights and many times the names of individuals are there to protect the true identity of the shareholders in that company.
