Our Star of the Week is the prosecutor at the Walvis Bay Magistrate’s Court who speedily prosecuted and had jailed Lukas Shoombe, 28, for a year barely a day after he robbed a British tourist of two cameras worth N$9 500. The same court this week sent out a stern warning to these gangs of thieves preying on tourists when it convicted Immanuel Junior (28), Ian Harding (26) and Herold Ipinge (29) a bunch of thieves found guilty of the theft of N$28 800 last weekend. The three will be sentenced next week. The prosecutor Tresia Hafeni and the magistrate Vicky Nicoladis and even the police should be commended for a job well done and we wish them to send more of these criminals to jail because they are a threat to Namibia’s tourism industry. It is a pity convicted criminals are not usually sentenced with hard labour and they usually emerge from our prisons fatter.
