Residents of Tsintsabis Settlement in Oshikoto's Guinas Constituency say they are headed to next week's polls with mixed feelings, largely disappointed with the lack of development in their area.

The community says they are tired of surviving from government handouts.

The San community at Tsintsabis no longer wants to be associated with their recognised status as marginalised. The community has made a plea for jobs and training opportunities to be considered on par with citizens elsewhere in the country.

The war in Ukraine has led to escalating food and commodity prices, affecting access to food by vulnerable communities in Namibia.
