MVA

12/06/2024

The Motor Vehicle Accident (MVA) Fund Chief Executive Officer, Mrs Rosalia Martin-Haufiku, paid a courtesy visit to her counterpart at the City of Windhoek, Moses Matyayi, yesterday (12 June) to share ideas on how the two institutions can collaborate on various aspects to serve the people in the city and ultimately the nation as a whole.
 
According to Martins-Haufiku, part of the MVA Fund's mandate of preventing accidents ties in well with the City's for ensuring road safety. She called for a continued symbiotic relationship between the two entities. 
 
MMr. Matyayi emphasized the importance of synergy between the two institutions. He called upon the Fund to work side by side with the city on more projects to achieve its strategic objectives of being a sustainable and caring city by 2027 and help the Fund achieve its mandate.
 

The Windhoek City police have been running a warrant of arrest execution operation since the beginning of March. The operation is aimed at promoting good driving behaviour, encouragement of paying outstanding fines, and to bring to justice those who are non-complacent on paying outstanding traffic fines.

Traffic officers were making use of the ANPR (Automatic Number Plate Recognition) technology at the road blocks, and it has proved to be quite successful in detecting traffic offenders. So far, over 700 offenders were arrested, and more motorists continue to flock to City Police offices for enquiries and payments on outstanding fines.

As the operation continues, more warrants are expected to be executed, and this time around officers will visit both residence and work place of offenders to affect arrests. Motorists are therefore encouraged to visit City Police Head office at the Corner or Sishen St and Essen St to enquire for outstanding traffic fines.
