Swapo Party Vice President and presidential candidate, Dr. Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah, said the government, through the party leadership, continues to make great strides in the provisions of education, health services, and overall development in the Kunene Region. 

During her address at the Kunene Star Rally, Nandi-Ndaitwah singled out improvements to the water supply in the Epupa constituency, with the Okomaremba-Hamaremba-Okanguati pipeline completed and the ongoing progress of the Ruacana South pipeline to supply water to Opuwo and Omakange. 

Other successes of the party are the improvements in road infrastructure, the provision of quality education in 75 school facilities, as well as the launch of the Khorixas Vocational Centre. 

On health issues, Nandi-Ndaitwah said rural communities have access to mobile health centres, and clinics are within reach. 

Against this background, Nandi-Ndaitwah has called on the region to ensure the Swapo Party gets a renewed mandate for it to continue building and developing the region and country for all to have quality services. 

“The Swapo Party is the only political party in Namibia that is capable of effectively governing this country, and we have demonstrated this over the past 34 years amidst the various socioeconomic challenges and world disasters such as the COVID-19 pandemic,” she said. 

The VP welcomed about 1,200 new members from various opposition parties who were encouraged to mobilise others to vote in the upcoming national elections.
