As the year draws to a close, Association of Local Authorities Namibia (ALAN) President Samuel !Oë-Amseb says councils and village settlements across the country have worked tirelessly to deliver services to their residents amidst the challenges of full funding for development projects.

The crime prevention operation launched recently at Katima Mulilo has registered success in combating crime.

The operation, which included a community policing forum, was designed to improve crime-fighting strategies in response to reports of high rates of housebreaking in Choto and other compounds.
