There is no place for criminals, who have made it their business to constantly harass, rob and murder peace-loving and hardworking people,&#8221; Geingob said.<\/p>\n<p>The president made the remarks at the 32nd commemoration of Namibia&#8217;s independence at Swakopmund on Monday. The president said those who are drug trafficking are destroying children at schools.<\/p>\n<p>He said those involved in such crimes must be identified, arrested, tried and jailed. Geingob said Namibia must strive for zero-drug tolerance and a drug-free Namibia.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The full wrath of Namibian law enforcement must fall on the criminal elements who are hell-bent on destroying the Namibian house,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>He said he is mindful that the police force is working hard to ensure that all Namibians are safe and secure. He added that the police must do more and employ new crime-fighting strategies so that crime can be prevented.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, the president urged communities to play their part and not harbour criminals or buy stolen goods. He urged community members to always report criminals living in their midst and co-operate with the criminal justice system.<\/p>\n<p>The president also implored men from abusing women and girls. &#8220;I again appeal to all men; let us be protectors and builders. Let us not become terrorisers within our households and societies,&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n<p>Geingob further stated that unabated trend of teenage pregnancies should be a source of deep concern for the country. He called for unity among all Namibians where all citizens peacefully coexist without tribalism and racism.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We should never accept tribalism or racism in Namibia. A progressive society can never subscribe to the practice of retrogressive tendencies,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/namibia\">Namibia<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Namibia.
