Founding President Sam Nujoma has been recognized as a remarkable leader whose unwavering commitment and ideologies were vital in achieving a free Namibia.

This sentiment was echoed by speakers at the First Regional Memorial Service held on Thursday in his home village, Etunda.

The Etunda and Sikondo Green Scheme Irrigations, located in Omusati and Kavango East regions, were recognised for their excellence, winning top honours at the Namibia Agronomic Board's (NAB) National Agronomic and Horticulture Awards, held at Olushandja.

The Minister of Health and Social Services, Dr. Kalumbi Shangula, has called on health centres not to allow challenges that require immediate solutions to persist, saying some minor issues do not need to go through the bureaucratic system for approval to be corrected.
