The 23rd Ongwediva Annual Trade Fair, which attracted 457 exhibitors, has come to an end.

Ongwediva Town Council Chief Executive Officer Damien Egumbo attributed the success of this year's edition to the improvement the committee had made.

The Minister of Information and Communication Technology, Emma Theofelus, says technology will not flourish without an enabling environment.

The Ongwediva Town Council has completed two sewer reticulation projects to improve sanitation.

The first will ensure sewer reticulation at Extension 15, while the other will secure the same for the location, Sky Phase 1.

The Ongwediva Town Council has tabled the 2023\2024 budget of N$172,3 million.

The Council has set aside N$2,6 million and N$2 million for the construction of stormwater channels, as well as for the provision of water and sewer reticulation infrastructure at extension 11 and extension 12 respectively.

The Ongwediva Town Council cut off the water connection to Eluwa Special School yesterday, leaving close to 300 learners with visual and hearing impairments without access to clean water.

Investigations carried out by nbc News revealed that the school is in arrears with N$725,000.
