Road safety takes centre stage as NamPol's Head of Traffic Law Enforcement, Commissioner Petrus Swartz, explains the new nationwide Driving Under the Influence (DUI) Assessment and Enforcement Programme. Running until January 2027, the initiative will see officers conduct sobriety tests, vehicle inspections and licence checks at roadblocks across Namibia, with a strong message to motorists: If you drink, don't drive. Commissioner Swartz discusses how the campaign will operate, the penalties for offenders, and why every road user has a role to play in preventing alcohol-related crashes.
