Unanswered Questions Around Walvis Bay/
Swakopmund Shootings
ThemurderofaWalvisBaypoliceofficer and the subsequent death of his alleged killer last week in Walvis Bay and Swakopmund has left the coastal community in shock.At the same time, some residents have raised questions about certain details in the official policeaccount.
According to a police report, the deceased suspect, identified as Jacques Pienaar from the Usakos area, allegedly robbed a victim at a gambling place in Walvis Bay on Wednesday night, 27 August. Law enforcement officers responded to the complaint and found the suspect in the vicinity, where he reportedly had a firearm pointed to hisownhead.ThereportstatesthatSergeantEustance Simasiku Matongo (34), a member of the Walvis Bay Investigation Unit, tried to talk the suspect out of harming himself. A circulating video clip appears to confirm this. “However, in theprocess,heturnedthefirearmtoourcolleague and blatantly shot him,” the police statement reads. Sergeant Matongo died instantly. The suspect then fled on foot, allegedly hijacked a taxi in Narraville, and drove to Swakopmund. Around 1:00, the taxi was found abandoned in Mondesa. At approximately 2:40, the suspect was intercepted at Truck Port in Swakopmund while allegedly attempting to board public transport.
“Before the law enforcement officers could affect the arrest, he immediately drew his pistol, and therewas a wrestlingover thefirearm,”thereport continues. Shots went off during the struggle, and the suspect sustained serious injuries. He was
transported to Swakopmund State Hospital, where helatersuccumbedtohiswounds.Whiletheofficial statementoutlinesthesequenceofevents,questions remain.ItisallegedthatSergeantMatongowasshot twice in the back, though Erongo police spokesperson, Senior Inspector Judith Shomongula, could not confirm this, saying the postmortem had not yet been conducted. Community members living near TruckPortclaimtheyheardatleastfourtofiveshots firedduringthefinalconfrontation.Askedtoclarify the number of officers involved and the number of shotsdischarged,SeniorInspectorShomongulasaid she could not confirm those details at this stage but noted that investigations are ongoing. The death of Sergeant Matongo, described by colleagues as a dedicated investigator, has cast a shadow over the coastal law enforcement community Police have assured the public that further details will be releasedastheinvestigationcontinues.
N$8.5 Billion Salmon Farming Project
Lüderitz is preparing to hostAfrica's first commercial, seabased salmon farm, a project spearheaded by the African AquacultureCompany(AAC)inpartnershipwithNorway's AKVAGroup.
ThisN$8.5billionventurewillbeone of the largest aquaculture operations in the southern hemisphere, licensed for 51 000 tonnes of annual production. The project aims to build a sustainable salmon farming industry in the region, focusing on environmental care and local economic growth. AAC in partnership with Norway'sAKVAgroup will establish Africa's first commercial sea-based salmon farming facility, licensed for 51 000 tonnes of production, positioning Namibia as a pioneer in aquaculture on the continent. Under the agreement, AKVA will deliver five state-of-the-art floating pens equipped with mooring systems, automated feeding, underwater cameras and digital monitoring technology
Swakopmund is buzzing with anticipation as more than 800 delegates from 64 countriesarrivethisweekforaglobalconferenceonfinancialinclusion.
The four-day event, hosted by the Bank of Namibia together with theAlliance for Financial Inclusion (AFI), is not only a major milestone for Namibia but also a boost for the coastal town's hotels,restaurants,andbusinesses.Formanyresidents, the forum puts Swakopmund on the map as leaders from around the world, including 20 central bank governors, gather to discuss how to make financial services more accessible to ordinary people everywhere. Speaking at a media briefing on Monday, Kazembire Zemburuka, Director of Strategic Communications and International Relations at the Bank of Namibia, described the gathering as a “national undertaking,” notingthatthecoastaltownwasreadytohostcentral bankers, regulators, policymakers, and experts from across the globe. “We want to emphasise this was a national undertaking welcoming more than 800 delegates to Swakopmund,” said Zemburuka. “It is quite a massive effort, and we thankallstakeholderswhohavecomeonboardto make this event a success.” The GPF, which started on Tuesday and runs until today (Friday), is co-hosted by the Bank of Namibia and AFI. It marks the sixth time the forum is being held in Africa, and the third time in Southern Africa. Dougal Thomson, AFI's Head of Communications and Media Relations, explained the importanceoftheforum.“AFIisaglobalnetwork of 90 central banks and financial regulators. Our aim is to bring everyone, rich or poor, young or old, male or female, including vulnerable groups,
into financial services. No one should be left behind,” he said. Thomson highlighted that despite progress over the past decade, an estimated 1.3 billion adults worldwide remain excluded from financial services. Platforms likeAFI's GPF, he said, are crucial for members to share experiences and policies that expand financial access. Africa, he added, has played a leading role in financial innovation, especially through mobile money and digital finance. “It's especially meaningful to host the GPF in Africa, because so much of the innovation in financial inclusion has come from here,” Thomson noted. The event will feature technical experts as wellashigh-levelleaders,including20governorsof central banks. Key topics on the agenda include digital financial services, cyber security, consumer protection,andgender-inclusivefinance.
“This is an action-packed program. It's about learning from each other, designing policies that work, and making financial inclusion a reality every-
The first smolt will be stocked in 2026, with the first harvest expected in 2027 AAC Chief Executive Officer Helge Krøgenes said that the partnership builds on more than two years of joint development to adapt international salmon farming practices to Namibian conditions. “For us ithasbeencrucialtoalignwithasolid partnerwhocancontributewithexperience,technologyandunderstanding of international deliveries. AKVA group shares our vision of building a robust industry in Namibia, and this collaboration agreement is an important first step,” he said. Krøgenes stressed that the project goes beyond fishproduction.
“This is not only about producing salmon. It is about introducing a new industry to a new continent in a responsible way, with environmental care, local value creation and strong partnersbyourside,”headded. AKVA group Export Director, Kjell Riska said Lüderitz Bay offers favourableconditionsforsalmonfarming, including stable ocean currents, year-round water temperatures between 10°C and 16°C, and existing infrastructure such as a harbour, processing facilities and logistics support. “We have worked closely together to find solutions suited both to the environment and to local challenges. The collaboration agreement marks the beginning of a development process that can pave the way for future deliveries and a new industry in Africa,” Riska said. The long-term vision is to scale up production to 100 000 tonnes ofAtlantic salmon through a combination of offshoreandonshorefacilities. Around N$100 million has been allocated for the offshore pilot phase, whilefull-fieldoffshoredevelopment will require an estimated N$1.25 billion, spread across three sites hosting 16cageseach. Ifrealised,theprojectwouldnotonly diversifyNamibia'sfishingsectorbut also create jobs, attract foreign investment and position Lüderitz as a hub for aquaculture in the southern hemisphere.
