A Namibian bus was reportedly hijacked in Johannesburg on June 9, leaving passengers stranded without assistance. The incident occurred when armed individuals took control of a bus operated by Mbishi Transport Project CC at a fourway stop. The driver was held for five hours before being released unharmed, but the bus remains missing. Passengers faced difficulties, with some paying for their own accommodation and others unable to return home. One passenger lost their passport, complicating travel. The IPC criticized the Namibian High Commission in Pretoria for not providing timely support. The incident has raised concerns among Namibian traders, who are reducing travel to South Africa due to fears of xenophobic attacks. The IPC is calling for transparency and better emergency support for Namibians abroad. They also urge the government to take action to protect traders and transport operators. The party demands a clear explanation of the assistance provided and the establishment of a consular hotline.
The incident highlights the need for improved government support and protection for Namibians traveling and working abroad.
