The Swapo Party Regional Coordinator in the Zambezi Region, Maffat Sileze, has assured residents of Kansoko Village in Linyanti district of the government's commitment to service delivery.

Sileze's response comes after the community at Konsoko raised concern that elderly people walk long distances to receive their old age social grant, as well as the lack of boreholes in Masida and access roads to the villages between Makanga and Masidas.

Learners in the area are said to be travelling more than five kilometres to the nearest school and have called for the construction of a lower primary school in the area.

"We do not have a community project here at Kasoko that comes from the government; electricity is another challenge; the line is already here, but most of us do not have money to connect to this line, as we are far away. Thus, we appeal to the government to extend connections to our houses, since the main line is already here," said Sileze.

Addressing a Swapo Party meeting, Sileze encouraged party leaders to embark on a door-to-door mobilization campaign to recruit more members.

He also encouraged those who resigned from the party to come back, adding that Swapo is the only party that has the interests of Namibians at heart.

"I am encouraging you and urging you to go to the nearest polling station to vote for Cde Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwa. Since independence, we have never had a female president."
