Minister of Home Affairs, Immigration, Safety and Security, Lucia Iipumbu says the Zambezi Region remains strategic and unique, but continues to face threats from illicit cross-border crimes.
Addressing a regional ministerial staff meeting at Katima Mulilo on Friday, Iipumbu called for vigilance among staff members who facilitate lawful movement, support legitimate trade, promote tourism and serve communities with dignity and professionalism.
The minister is on a two-day working visit to the region, during which she is expected to inspect ongoing ministerial projects, conduct border visits and participate in possible police operations, among other activities.
Iipumbu urged staff members to uphold professionalism and apply the law consistently despite the challenges facing the region, stressing that such difficulties should never become an excuse for poor service delivery or indiscipline.
