TEAR-GASSED …

Tear gas was released into a crowd of armed forces to maintain order at the Windhoek West polling station yesterday evening. Namibian Defence Force spokesperson lieutenant colonel Petrus Shilumbu confirmed this. A military ambulance arrived on site to assist officers who were affected by the tear gas. As special voting kicked off in Windhoek for Namibian Police officers, Namibian Defence Force members, diplomats and Namibians in the diaspora yesterday, ballot shortages, long queues and delays at some polling stations marred the exercise.
