South & West Africa Mission (SWAM)

Mr. Gannon, Mr. Price, and D/C/Cst. Lucy wish to acknowledge the leadership and initiative of Mr. Jaco Jacobs, a lawyer in Windhoek with Theunissen, Louw & Partners, and Managing Director of SWAM. As a citizen of Namibia, a resident of Windhoek, and a leader in the community, Mr. Jacobs had the opportunity to witness the formation and early growth of the Windhoek City Police. Through contacts and conversations with Chief Kanime and others, Mr. Jacobs recognized an opportunity for SWAM to play a role in assisting in further development of WCP through his contacts in Canada. The police exchange programme was a vision of Mr. Jacobs that he was able to successfully facilitate, and the future viability of the programme remains promising.
