By TUW
The Motor Vehicle Accident Fund of Namibia donated advanced surveillance equipment valued at N$141,000 to the City of Windhoek, in a move aimed at strengthening road safety measures across the capital.
The handover, which took place on Friday in Windhoek, included three closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras that will be installed at identified high-risk intersections known for frequent traffic incidents. Authorities say the technology is expected to play a key role in improving traffic monitoring and reducing accidents.
Speaking at the event, Windhoek mayor Sakarias Uunona highlighted that the introduction of the cameras marks a significant step toward safer roads, particularly in areas with heavy traffic flow and recurring collisions. He added that enhanced surveillance will also support law enforcement efforts in ensuring compliance with traffic regulations.
Chief executive officer of the MVA Fund, Rosalia Martins-Hausiku, noted that the Khomas Region continues to record some of the highest accident rates in the country. She explained that this trend informed the fund’s decision to support the city with additional monitoring tools.
According to officials, the newly acquired system will not only assist in detecting accidents in real time but will also enhance emergency response coordination by providing quicker access to critical information. The initiative forms part of broader efforts to reduce road fatalities and improve overall traffic management within the capital.
