Namibian Police Major General Anne-Marie Nainda is campaigning for the position of Interpol vice president for Africa. Both the police and President Nangolo Mbumba have endorsed her decision, a police statement confirmed.

Police spokesperson Kauna Shikwambi said Nainda received several votes of support from SADC heads of state during the SADC Summit in Zimbabwe, Harare, in August.

"She is currently the deputy inspector general responsible for administration and has been for the past seven years," Shikwambi said.

Nainda has 32 years of policing experience and knowledge under her belt.

She currently leads the strategic planning, organisational performance and human capital, policy review, and budgeting processes of the Namibian Police Force, Shikwambi said.

Nainda holds the position of Interpol executive committee delegate for Africa, to which she was elected in October 2022.



Seasoned officer

Nainda has served in various roles across Namibia, starting in Windhoek in 1992 as the charge officer at the Katutura Police Station. In 2007, she became the desk officer for drugs, protected resources and vehicle Crime at the National Central Bureau of Interpol.

In her campaign statement, Nainda expressed her commitment to promoting transparency, accountability and collaboration to establish a global benchmark for security, integrity and excellence.

"As a seasoned law enforcement practitioner, I recognise the challenges ahead and assert my readiness to assume the role of Interpol vice president for Africa," she said.

Nainda said her credentials and years of experience set her apart from her peers and prove that she is a strategic leader.

"My expertise in international relations enhances my ability to tackle complex security challenges, enabling me to craft innovative strategies that surpass conventional approaches. My extensive experience in global and continental policing has been instrumental in shaping my understanding and approach to security challenges," she added.
