Shifeta deploys Kashihaumwa to Etosha to foil poaching 'inside job'
Environment and Tourism Minister Pohamba Shifeta has confirmed suspicions that some of the ministry’s rangers are part of syndicates causing poaching havoc in the Etosha National Park. Yesterday he confirmed that retired Commissioner Ndahangwapo Kashihakumwa, the head of the wildlife protection unit, has been redeployed from Windhoek to Etosha with immediate effect. "There was too much complacency from our staff in Etosha and there were inside jobs," he told Namibian Sun late yesterday. Shifeta’s swift action follows the recent discovery of 11 black rhino carcasses in the national park over the past two weeks.
