The majority of drug trafficking cases in Namibia are linked to individual suspects or small independent distributors and not to any organised cartel or syndicate.

The battle against drugs is no longer being fought only at the borders but is now being fought inside homes, communities, and, in some cases, within the ranks of the police itself.

The Rehoboth community demonstrated today, requesting the refusal of bail for Naomi Fisch and Steve Scheiders, who were arrested last Friday for allegedly dealing in narcotic drugs.

The 14th Joint Law Enforcement Operation by the Trans Kalahari Corridor Management Committee, which brought together law enforcement agencies from Botswana, Namibia, and South Africa, was described as a success.
