Residents of Onghala village in the Ohangwena Region are hoping for a bumper harvest this year, despite being impacted by flood waters from Angola. 

Many residents did not reap any fruit last year, especially those who settled in flood-prone areas. 

It's headman, Paulus Friedrick, shared the challenges faced by the community, stating that last year was a difficult time for them as they heavily rely on subsistence farming.

The lifeless body of a man with missing upper limbs and private parts, was discovered floating in the flood waters near Mponje Village in Lisikili in the Zambezi Region.

The discovery was made by a passing fisherman.

The body has been positively identified as that of 38-year-old Kapali Mate who was reported missing last Saturday after going out with friends.

His next of kin have been informed.

Police reported that the naked and partly decomposed body was discovered without arms and private parts.

Residents of the Engela Constituency remain on high alert for impending floods.
 
The flood waters that are coming in from southern Angola arrived in Namibia yesterday morning and have so far reached Onghala, Oimbadalunga, Eeshoke, Ohaingu, and Engela villages.

Both young and old are seen checking the rising water levels.

All are hoping the situation does not escalate into catastrophe, whether for the communities or their animals.

Flood waters from southern Angola entered the Engela Constituency of the Ohangwena Region.

Residents living in flood-prone areas in the Ohangwena Region have been urged to be vigilant of the dangers that flood waters pose.

It was reported that the Cunene Province of southern Angola continues to receive good rainfall, leaving many areas submerged.

The water flooded into the flood streams toward the Angola-Namibia border, filling up the floodplains such as the Oshana shaNalumono stream.
