Namibia’s capital, Windhoek to install CCTV cameras to fight crime

Dr. Stanley Shanapinda, CEO, Telecom Namibia

Windhoek, Namibia's capital city, is set to install CCTV cameras to combat the theft of copper and batteries and prevent the vandalism of telecommunications infrastructure. This initiative is a collaborative effort between Telecom Namibia and the City of Windhoek.

The network operator and municipality will form a task team to prepare for this project, aiming to enhance the safety and security of Windhoek. Acting CEO of the City of Windhoek, Faniel Maanda emphasized the municipality's commitment to working with various stakeholders to transform the capital into a "sustainable and caring city" by 2027.

During a meeting with a delegation from Telecom Namibia, led by CEO Dr. Stanley Shanapinda, Maanda stated, “We need to co-identify key areas prone to crime and put up infrastructure to assist with proactive policing in crime hotspots.”

“As such, Telecom Namibia in collaboration with law enforcement agencies has to come up with tactics to safeguard the telecommunications infrastructure before the company gets to a point where it can no longer find supplies to replace stolen and vandalised equipment,” Shanapinda added.

Shanapinda further mentioned that the company eventually aims to replace copper with fibre to reduce incidents of theft and vandalism as well as mitigate downtime of services.
