The advent of social media and the ability to utilise it across the continent has not only eased the ways in conducting business, but has also opened up many avenues for the perpetrators of crime.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, our collective responsibilities as law-enforcers is to ensure that we put our decisions into action to combat these crimes,\u201d Musamba continued.<\/p>\n<p>Namibia took over the chairmanship during the 27th SARPCCO annual general meeting held in South Africa in June 2022.<\/p>\n<p><b>Source: neweralive<\/b><\/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.
