Nestor Katangolo appears on another drug charge Mavourlene Gaes
Nestor Katangolo (31), who already has had several other drug possession charges pending against him, appeared on one of the charges at the Walvis Bay Magistrate’s court this week. He is on trial following his apprehension a few years ago after the police searched his flat in Kuisebmond and allegedly found crack cocaine under a sofa. According to Detective Sergeant Stephanus who gave a sworn testimony under oath, told the court
that she was conducting an operation with colleagues when they came across Katangolo giving what appeared to be drugs to an unknown man whom they later caught with drugs in his possession. The police officers followed the accused back to his flat
where they introduced themselves, explained their intentions and with Katangolo’s permission searched the flat where they found the drugs and N$1 900. He was arrested and charged with dealing in cocaine and possession of cocaine. The accused maintained
he was not guilty and even went as far as insinuating one of the police officers could have planted the drugs. Katangolo appeared in front of Magistrate John Sindano Liwoyo who postponed the matter to 29 June for the continuation of the trial.

Woman suspects a scam Madelaine Laubscher A local resident told the newspaper that she strongly suspects yet another scam as she was allegedly approached by suspect persons to enter a competition by giving the last four digits of her credit card. When the newspaper asked her why she suspects that this could be a scam, she said “a very friendly woman named ‘Joyce’ came to the place where I work and asked a lot of questions and also asked us to complete a survey to indicate what our favorite holiday destinations are etc. I completed the survey and thought nothing of it at the time. Two days ago I was contacted by what I suspect was the same woman and she said I won an all expenses paid holiday for two. She then said I have to be at a hotel and that I must bring my husband and my credit card to enter a competition. I asked how the competition works and she said I have to give them the last four digits of my card and they will compare it to the numbers they have
and the winner will win N$50 000. I started feeling uneasy about it. I did some research on the internet about different scams and this seems very similar to a scam. However, I went to the hotel just to see where this played out as I was worried that it could be a scam. I did not take my husband with though. When I arrived there were a few couples who did enter the competition. I did not want to enter and I turned around to walk away. At that moment, a very friendly man, came after me and asked me to enter. I decided that I want to find out what happens next and I completed a small document. This document stated that all flight costs will be cheaper when we go on holiday. I told the man that the woman
told me it will be all expenses paid and she never mentioned anything about flight costs. At this moment I told the man I am not interested. He came after me again and said that I never signed the document. I told him I am not going to then he was rude to me and left.” According to her she contacted the newspaper soon after. “I cannot confirm that this is a scam, but I stgrongly suspect it because they asked for the last four digits of my credit card number and everything sounded too good to be true.” She wants to warn the community that they must double check when informed that they have won something and not give any personal information before they are certain everything is legitimate.
