Farmers in the Hardap Region have been battling a veld fire that broke out at the Haribes resettlement farm on Monday.

Both Hardap Governor Salomon April and Hardap Region Council Chairperson Gershon Dausab were at the scene of the fire to help put it out.

The Rehoboth Farmers Association and firefighters from the nearby local authorities, as well as the police, were also assisting.

Members of the Namibian Defense Force were also enlisted to help extinguish the fire.

A veld fire is also raging in the ||Kharas Mountain area.

A farmer who confirmed the fire told nbc News that they are battling to control it.

Three months ago, a veld fire that had spread to a number of commercial farms destroyed more than 50,000 hectares of grazing land in the ||Kharas Mountain area.
