The acting Chief Executive Officer of CENORED, Gawie Awaseb, has assured the residents of Okahandja that the power supply will not be disconnected.

This follows NamPower's announcement of the electricity disconnection of all its defaulting clients.

Namibia was last year more reliant than ever on electricity imports.

According to the IPPR Quarterly Economic Report, overall imports accounted for 71.2% of the total electricity supply, making Namibia acutely vulnerable to developments in the rest of the region.

Residents of the Kavango West Region are now satisfied with NORED's response in addressing the constant power outages in the region.

The town's residents raised concerns about continuous power cuts at a stakeholders' meeting at Nkurenkuru last week.
