Namibia: More Die On Roads in 2010

WARNING: This is Version 1 of my old archive, so Photos will NOT work and many links will NOT work. But you can find articles by searching on the Titles. There is a lot of information in this archive. Use the SEARCH BAR at the top right. Prior to December 2012; I was a pro-Christian type of Conservative. I was unaware of the mass of Jewish lies in history, especially the lies regarding WW2 and Hitler. So in here you will find pro-Jewish and pro-Israel material. I was definitely WRONG about the Boeremag and Janusz Walus. They were for real.

NAMIBIA’S road deaths in 2010 outnumbered those of 2009 by six deaths.

Police spokesperson Inspector Kauna Shikwambi said 531 people were killed on Namibian roads in 2010, whilst the number or road fatalities in 2009 was 525.

This dark picture emerges despite a slight drop in road deaths between November 28 2010 and January 2 2011 – 53 compared to 61 in the same period the previous year.

Shikwambi said the worst affected region the past festive season was Khomas with 11 deaths, followed by ten in Otjozondjupa, six deaths in Hardap and five each in Karas, Oshikoto, Kavango and Erongo.

Three people were killed in road accidents in Omaheke and two in Oshana and one in Omusati.

A total of 2 689 road accidents took place last year, compared to 1 965 in 2009.

Shikwambi warned motorists to comply with traffic rules and regulations.

She said the schools have not opened yet, and road users need to be extra cautious during this peak period.

Late last year, Lieutenant General Sebastian Ndeitunga, the Inspector General of the Namibian Police, threatened to bar minibus taxis from travelling at night.

Ndeitunga said minibus crashes are the leading cause of the road carnage.
