Rundu Namibia – A 32-year-old man was arrested on Friday for allegedly offering to sell his 10-year-old son for N$75 000.
Diyeve Detembero, a resident of the Kehemu informal settlement on the outskirts of Rundu, appeared in the Rundu Magistrate’s Court on Monday on a charge of human trafficking.
The Thimbukushu-speaking suspect appeared before Magistrate Helen Olaiya, and indicated that he would hire his own attorney.
The magistrate then postponed the case to October 2 this year for further police investigations.
According to the charge sheet, Detembero wanted to “get rid” of his biological son (name withheld) because the boy is a school dropout, was “useless at home, and supporting him was a financial burden”…
