A 38-year-old Angolan national was arrested in Windhoek on Friday after it was determined that he was the alleged owner of a parcel containing ecstasy worth N$294,240.
The parcel was shipped to Namibia from Europe in November of last year.
The residents of Noordoewer also petitioned !Haib Minerals (PTY) Ltd and Ferrodrill Namibia for overlooking locals when there are job opportunities.
They demanded the company present a well-defined social responsibility plan for the Noordoewer settlement.
Frustrated Noordoewer residents are accusing the local settlement office, which renders municipal services, of failing to deliver adequate service.
Mourners showed up in large numbers for a candlelight ceremony held in honour of late Founding President Sam Nujoma at the Kavango East Governor's Office, despite the drizzle.
Business leaders paid tribute to Namibia's late leader for his major role in helping to bring Namibia's economy to growth.
