AN 18-year-old amateur boxer was allegedly shot in both legs by the owner of Special Inns bar in Greenwell Matongo, Katutura.
George Shilunga, who is also a Polytechnic of Namibia student, has since opened a criminal case against Simon Nambahu whose bar is located along Eveline Street.
Shilumba, who now uses crutches, is awaiting more tests to confirm whether he can fully recover to go into the ring again.
Shilunga said he was standing about 40 metres from Special Inns bar watching people fighting two weeks ago when Nambahu came out shooting randomly.
“People started running in all directions. I also ran trying to hide somewhere safe. While I was running, my jeans started to feel heavy and I went into another bar only to notice that I had been shot. A taxi driver took me to the hospital.”
When contacted for comment Nambahu professed ignorance over the shooting before he hung up.
“I don’t know anything about what you are talking about. If you say there are people who have told you about this case go to them,” Nambahu said.
A witness, Moses Joseph, said Nambahu together with his side kick Omupundja who also had a gun opened fire at random.
“As the shots were being fired, there were sparks of fire all over.”
