The Swapo Party has strengthened its political hold in the Zambezi Region by retaining three constituencies it lost in the last Regional Councils and Local Authorities elections.

An increase in suicides, road fatalities, and violent attacks dominated the weekend police report.

The lifeless body of Hofeni Shoombe (49) was discovered inside a silver VW Kombi on Kupferberg Road in Windhoek, with a gunshot wound to the head; no foul play is suspected.

Landless People's Movement (LPM) National Spokesperson Lifalaza Simataa said the party will soon provide its official reaction to the 2025 Regional Councils and Local Authorities election results, after losing control of strongholds in the Hardap and ||Kharas Regions.​

The City of Windhoek has approved additional funding for its debt relief programme for senior citizens and vulnerable residents.​

An additional N$100 million in funding was approved to support pensioners who were 60 years or older by 30 November 2023, but whose previous applications were unsuccessful.​

 A car accident on Friday night claimed the lives of two Ministry of Urban and Rural Development employees. Lukas Nangolo served as the official driver, while George Shiluwa was the bodyguard for Minister James Sankwasa.​
