Otjozondjupa Governor James Uerikua has called upon the local authorities to fast-track the delivery of land and housing for the men and women in uniform.

Uerikua made this call during the State of the Region Address at Otjiwarongo.

Lack of housing is the greatest challenge faced by men and women in uniform, as only a few have managed to acquire houses through various means.

Public Relations and Regional Community Affairs Officers are expected to maintain and solicit public trust at all times through daily interactions.

Thirty officials from all the country's 14 regions, underwent a four-day workshop that was aimed at enhancing their competencies and abilities.
 
Legal and ethics, freedom of expression, access to information, the safety of journalists, the importance of TV/Radio, interviews as well as handling of video footage and photography were some of the topics covered during the workshop.
