Strawberry picking has become a family tradition, blending fun, education, and the irresistible appeal of farm-fresh berries.

The spirit of Christmas and Family Day brought families together for a delightful outdoor experience at Grow Getters Strawberry Farm near Windhoek.

Zambezi Governor Alufea Sampofu commended efforts made towards development in the region this year.

Sampofu said this during his Christmas message where he highlighted that despite many challenges, several steps towards building and growing the region were taken.

While others are celebrating Christmas Day with family and friends, for some street vendors at Rundu, it's business as usual.

This is because, after all the celebrations and entertainment, the struggles for a new academic year begin.

Joakim Kayangura was denied bail in the Rundu Magistrate Court following his arrest in the hit and run that occurred along the Trans Zambezi Highway.

The incident happened over the weekend. 

Julius Haupindi, 21, who was among the five victims, died instantly.

The police in the Otjozondjupa Region have expressed concern over the attitude of some drivers on the B1, who continuously disregard traffic laws and regulations.
