The Ministry of Home Affairs, Immigration, Safety, and Security started with its outreach programme for the distribution of national documents in the Kavango East Region.

The programme aims to issue a national document to people in outlying areas who face challenges travelling to Rundu for services. 

The first outreach programme for 2024 started on February 19th and ended on March 4th.

Some residents of Freedom Land in Windhoek have once again raised their complaints about a lack of national identity documents, which they say prevents them from accessing government social grants.

They also want to be given ample time to settle their water bills instead of being cut off.

This came to light at the City of Windhoek's community meeting, which was also attended by officials from the Ministry of Gender Equality, Poverty Eradication, and Social Welfare and the City Police to address the plight of the residents.
