The incoming National Unity Democratic Organisation (NUDO) Gobabis local authority councillor, Uataviza Patire, has committed to improving basic services in the town's informal settlements.

Patire succeeds former mayor Elvire Theron, who resigned from the party to join the Republican Party.

The Deputy Minister of Information and Communication Technology, Emma Theofelus, has called on young people to make use of technology and advance business opportunities around it.

Theofelus made this call at the opening of the Omaheke Youth Camp and Exhibition 2023 at Gobabis.
