Standard Bank elusive over possible closure of Henties Bay agency.

“Standard Bank Namibia can confirm that we continuously review our branch network to ensure it remains aligned with client needs and business strategy. We are engaging relevant stakeholders and will communicate any decisions through the appropriate internal and external channels at the right time.”

Swakopmund rocked by yet another su***de.

A female of white complexion was found deceased in her vehicle in Swakopmund's Kramersdorp suburb this afternoon (Tuesday 2 June 2026). She is believed to have ended her life by shooting herself with a firearm.
The person was missing since earlier today, but a su***de note she left [presumably at her home] led to her loved ones phoning the Police. They also gave a description of the vehicle she was driving.
Members of the Swakopmund Neighbourhood Watch spotted the vehicle and upon closer inspection found a female person deceased in the vehicle with a single gunshot wound to the head. As far as they could establish the gunshot wound was self-inflicted.
This is now a developing story and as information becomes available this article will be updated.
