A government vehicle assigned to labour minister Utoni Nujoma was damaged while parked in front of a pharmacy in Windhoek on Sunday afternoon.
Namibian Police inspector general Joseph Shikongo confirmed the incident to The Namibian.
Shikongo said Nujoma reported the incident to him but was unable to provide details, as the incident occurred while Nujoma was inside the pharmacy.
“My officers should be on the scene now. They will provide me with a comprehensive report,” Shikongo said.
According to an eyewitness, a young man wearing shorts and no shirt struck the windscreen of the car, a black Mercedes-Benz, about five times with a stone.
“He hit it about five times. He kept hitting the car with a stone and proceeded to remove the number plate and remarked ‘Swapo se moer’,” the witness said.
The witness said the man left heading in the direction of a nearby private hospital.
