BUS BURST INTO FIRE

A passenger bus en route to Windhoek burst into flames in the Omutsegwonime area of the Oshikoto Region at around 21:00 last night.

Toivo Simeon, an eyewitness and passenger on the S. Ndapuka bus, reported that the passengers, particularly those sitting at the back, smelt something burning.

Simeon said the bus floor started heating up, and his phone, which was charging via the bus charging port, stopped working.

The bus driver also noticed something wrong and drove to the nearest service station, ordering the passengers to disembark while he called for a replacement bus from Ondangwa.

According to Simeon, the driver apologised and told them there would be about a two-hour wait. While he was informing them, someone noticed the fire, and chaos broke out as passengers scrambled for the exit door, fearing for their lives.

No serious injuries were reported with only a few items from the bus salvaged

CAR ROAD ACCIDENT CLAIMS THREE LIVES

‎Police in the Otjozondjupa Region have reported a tragic road accident that claimed three lives and left two people injured on Thursday night, 16 October 2025. The incident occurred at around 23h00, approximately 72 kilometres from Otjiwarongo towards Okahandja on the B1 road.
‎
‎According to the Otjozondjupa Police Regional Spokesperson, Senior Inspector Maureen Mbeha, the accident involved a white Toyota Double Cab that was travelling from Rundu to Windhoek. The driver was reportedly taking his mother to the hospital at the time of the crash.
‎
‎“It is alleged that the driver drove over a drum containing oil that was lying in the middle of the road. As a result, he lost control of the vehicle, and it overturned,” said Mbeha. “It is suspected that the drum might have fallen from an unknown vehicle.”
‎
‎The vehicle had five occupants, including the driver. Three passengers died instantly at the scene, while two survivors were transported by ambulance to the Otjiwarongo State Hospital for medical treatment.
‎
‎The driver, a 56-year-old Namibian male, sustained no visible injuries but complained of pain and was admitted to the Otjiwarongo State Hospital. A 25-year-old Namibian female passenger suffered pelvic and right leg injuries and was later transferred to Windhoek for further treatment.
‎
‎The deceased have been identified as an 84-year-old Namibian female, who was the driver’s mother; a 53-year-old male Portuguese national with a valid Namibian work permit; and an 36 year old Namibian female.
‎
‎The remains of the deceased were transported to the Otjiwarongo Police Mortuary, and the next of kin are yet to be notified.
‎
‎Police investigations into the cause of the accident are ongoing.
