Former Windhoek Councillor Desiree Davids Dies in Suspected Suicide


Former Windhoek Councillor Desiree Davids Dies in Suspected Suicide – The Updated World

The community of Tsumeb and political circles across Namibia are reeling following the sudden death of former City of Windhoek councillor Desiree Davids, who reportedly died by suicide in Tsumeb, where she had been living in recent months.

Davids, once a member of the Independent Patriots for Change (IPC), briefly served on the Windhoek City Council before being suspended in 2021 over allegations that she improperly used her position to secure land. Despite the public fallout, the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) later cleared her of any misconduct.

After resigning from the IPC, Davids withdrew from the political spotlight and led a quiet life away from public attention. Her death has shocked many who knew her as a passionate and outspoken figure during her time in public service.

Authorities are yet to release full details surrounding her death, but early reports suggest no foul play. Tributes have begun pouring in on social media, with many expressing condolences and remembering her contributions to the capital’s governance.

A formal investigation has been launched, and police say her next of kin have been informed.
