Clik here to view. The abuse of social media platforms in Namibia has come under the spotlight again with photos and voice clips being circulated alleging Chinese nationals have slaughtered a person and packaged the meat.
The material is being circulated on Facebook and on WhatsApp groups claiming that it happened in Namibia. The sound clip warns the Namibian public to be careful and keep a watchful eye on their children as four Chinese nationals were arrested for human slaughter.
According to the clip, the four Chinese were caught slaughtering humans in a container.
He warns that people have to be very careful as other suspects are still at large and their whereabouts unknown.
The recording urges people to send it on to warn people, adding it is not known whether children or adults are being targeted.
“Be very careful especially with children walking alone from school,” he says.
The photos, circulated with the voice clip, show several Chinese who have been arrested by authorities, some who are dressed in black uniforms, and in one photo there is a dead body on the ground.
The uniforms in the photos are not those of Namibian law enforcement.
Police spokesperson Edwin Kanguatjivi assured the public that there is absolutely no truth in the materials circulated and that this did not happen in Namibia.
Kanguatjivi further confirmed that the photos originate from an incident in Angola when five Chinese nationals robbed and killed another Chinese to steal his money.
“The body was exhumed and there was no cannibalism, he was robbed and murdered. People should desist from spreading false information.”
He issued a stern warning to Namibians saying the abuse of social media can be very dangerous.
“Social media can be a very helpful tool to distribute information, but with the abuse of social media and misleading information being spread, people do not know what to trust anymore.”
Kanguatjivi added that this type of material on social media can result in the public becoming angry and frustrated towards Chinese nationals.
It could lead to xenophobic violence. “What if someone comes across a Chinese national and attacks him?”
The proposed Electronic Transactions and Cybercrime Bill, when enacted, will criminalise malicious communications, especially where the intention of the perpetrator is to harm or injure the dignity of another person or group of persons.
