I remember teasing him that he will be discharged on Wednesday,\u201d said Mayaya.<\/p>\n<p>But later, around 22h00 the same day, she received a call from the hospital informing her that Kandjala was nowhere to be found. \u201cI was informed that he attempted to leave the hospital on several occasions, saying that he wanted to go and buy a drink,\u201d added Mayaya.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe next morning, I went to the hospital, and he was nowhere to be found, although his belongings were there,\u201d said Mayaya.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe had a cell phone, but it was faulty, because I remember I went to charge it the previous day, but it didn\u2019t charge. His wallet, which contained money, was still there,\u201d said Mayaya. Two days later, Japhet Edward, Kandjala\u2019s uncle, decided to travel to Tsumeb when he heard he was reported missing.<\/p>\n<p>The frustrated Edward narrated that when he reached Tsumeb, he found that the police had not yet started the search. However, Oshikoto police confirmed that they are still searching for Kandjala with the help of the special field force but there are still no leads. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Edward is pleading with anybody who has information about his whereabouts to contact him on 081 387 4422 or Hilma Sackaria at 081 471 3453.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 lis24nje@gmail.com<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mtc.com.na\/shop\/campaign\/123?gad_source=1&amp;gad_campaignid=23391789058&amp;gbraid=0AAAAA92tbZvIr5J0FiuGEKvCXmCujF3bG&amp;gclid=Cj0KCQiAgvPKBhCxARIsAOlK_EomzstpTVTSE1fqU1UfC4-sqf3j8QxOqKYdLOVC9lhrYEof2Ijuj8caApFcEALw_wcB\" aria-label=\"Newspaper Online Ads_FA_300 (w) x 60 (h) (1)\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/africa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/1767695890_551_1170x234xNewspaper-Online-Ads_FA_300-w-x-60-h-1.jpg.pagespeed.ic.cDwNrwsSVW.jpg\" alt=\"\"   width=\"1170\" height=\"234\" data-pagespeed-url-hash=\"3074043295\" onload=\"pagespeed.CriticalImages.checkImageForCriticality(this);\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Lissony Njembo Ananias Kandjala, a 37-year-old passenger who was allegedly fainting while travelling from Swakopmund to Ongwediva, and&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":7161,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[43],"tags":[102],"class_list":{"0":"post-7160","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-namibia","8":"tag-namibia"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/africa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7160","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/africa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/africa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/africa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/africa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7160"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/africa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7160\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/africa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7161"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/africa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7160"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/africa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7160"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/africa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7160"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
