Residents of Ndama in Rundu have expressed dissatisfaction with service delivery to the members of the National Council who are on the outreach programme in the region.

The gathering, which aimed to educate the public about the mandate of parliament, instead resulted in locals voicing their grievances. 

A lack of access to water and electricity, proper roads and health facilities, and affordable municipal land are some of the concerns raised. 

They also pointed out violent crimes among the youth, high unemployment rates, and poverty.

The Deputy Chairperson of the National Council, Emma Muteka, welcomed the openness of the community.

Some community members also expressed their unhappiness with the Kavango Link water project, while others touched on the need for access to social grants and national documents. 

 Muteka expressed satisfaction with the outcome of the engagement.

Rundu Urban Councillor, Stefanus Sinonge added that he is aware of the communities' concerns and will engage relevant authorities to make sure that their problems are attended to.
