Two men appeared in the Rundu Magistrate’s Court on Monday in connection with the robbery of a teacher at Rundu’s Rudolf Ngondo Primary School last week.

According to the charge sheet, the two are Annanias Amutenya, 27, and 33-year-old Paulus Shaanika.

The two were arrested at a local bar in the Sikanduko informal settlement on Thursday.

The vehicle allegedly used in the robbery was also found hidden in a yard at Sauyemwa informal settlement and it is believed to have been hired from Independence Car Hire in Windhoek.

Both were denied bail when they appeared in court, and the case was postponed to 25 July 2023.

It is alleged that on the day of the robbery, the teacher withdrew an amount of N.dollars 14 000 from a local bank, meant for a regional sports event, before heading to school.

It is suspected that the accused followed her there and jumped the school fence to gain entry.

They allegedly went from class to class searching for the teacher, and when they finally found her while teaching, they grabbed her handbag, in which she had the cash she withdrew along with an additional N.dollars 1 200 of her own and some documents.

A male teacher who tried to defend his colleague was injured in the process.
