Over 200 farmers from the Otamanzi Constituency have continued their protest against the fencing off of the Sheya Shuushona Conservancy, including a saltpan where they used to freely extract salt for animals and household consumption.

A severe drought is looming in the Otamanzi Constituency of the Omusati Region due to the poor rainfall received in the area this year.

The silos of many subsistence farmers are empty, and their only hope is drought-relief food for both humans and animals.
