Zambezi Health Director Woita Kampuburu welcomed the gesture.

Minister of Works and Transport Veikko Nekundi has announced the closure of the Oranjemund-Rosh Pinah road after water from the Orange River crept up to the road surface, posing a serious safety risk.

The Ministry of Works and Transport is undertaking the construction of the Okatana-Amutanga-Omulathitu-Onamime gravel road.
