No relief for haunted family

The troubled Mukwiilongo family in Omusati Region suffered yet another torment from mysterious fires when their homestead caught fire a fortnight ago. The fire destroyed all the items that were donated by the regional council and Good Samaritans after the previous fire on 18 November. Shock and panic have gripped this family that appears to be troubled by repeated mysterious fires which in July this year, claimed the life of an 88-year-old pensioner. Otamanzi constituency councillor Johannes Iiyambo confirmed the incident to Namibian Sun, adding that all the donated items such as food, bedding and clothes that his office donated, have been destroyed. Iiyambo said the family currently lives under a tree outside the house for fear of their lives. “For now the only option we are left with is to organise prayers for this family and we are planning an event for Wednesday. The constituency office donated many items such food, mattresses, blankets and clothes but they were all destroyed,” Iiyambo said. Albertina Iita Mukwiilongo's daughter Christofina Shetunyenga said the latest incident was the 12th strange fire at their homestead since 6 July this year. She said on 24 November there were clouds and they thought it would rain. They decided to put all the items that were donated in one of the rooms. “A few moments after we placed everything inside, we saw smoke coming from the room and everything was already on fire,” Shetunyenga said.ILENI NANDJATO
