A 27-year-old Namibian man died at China Town in Windhoek yesterday morning when a wall collapsed and fell on him.

According to police spokesperson deputy commissioner Kauna Shikwambi, the deceased and two other men were breaking down a wall in a shop in China Town on Tuesday at approximately 11:00. The deceased was apparently drilling at the bottom of the wall while the other two men were breaking down the top of the wall.

The wall collapsed and fell on top of the man, who died at the scene.

The deceased was employed by a construction company owned by a Chinese national who has permanent residency in Namibia.
