‘What about arrest warrants?’

RUNDU – While describing the Office of the Judiciary’s traffic fine amnesty as a noble and commendable idea, lawyer Bernhard Tjatjara warned the initiative lacks clarity regarding outstanding warrants of arrest.

The amnesty, which runs from 3 August 2026 to 30 September 2026, allows motorists to pay overdue admissions of guilt traffic fines.

However, the Rundu-based Tjatjara holds the fervent view that the official directive fails to protect citizens who are technically facing arrest by default.
