The Ovaherero Traditional Authority group, led by Professor Mutjinde Katjiua, has tasked the Chief Council to establish a task force committee to investigate livestock theft and alleged unsanctioned mining activities in communal areas.

Vendors in Tsumeb are set to trade with greater ease following the construction of an open market by the municipality along the town's main road.

Construction started in 2019 and is nearly fully complete, save for a few more touch-ups.

The faction of the Ovaherero Traditional Authority (OTA) under newly inaugurated Dr. Hoze Riruako commemorated Red Flag Day at Okahandja.

Red Flag Day serves to pay homage to the Ovaherero ancestors.

The commemoration further aims to foster unity among the Ovaherero community.
