Ogongo District Coordinator for Swapo Alweendo Nangolo said the death of Kambikiti is a wake-up call for the people in his community to mobilize themselves to counter and fight social evils.
Nangolo stated that this horrific attack has shocked the district and the nation at large.
“We ask the youth not to involve in such barbaric attacks against our women and children,” he said.
Further, he urged inhabitants of Ogongo to walk in groups whenever returning from the cuca shop in the evenings to avoid becoming easy prey to criminals.
He also called on parents and caregivers to raise their children in such a way that they become law-abiding citizens.
Nangolo, with Onamundindi branch coordinator Timoteus Iithete, on Tuesday, joined other mourners to pay their respects to the deceased and deliver messages of condolences to the bereaved family.
