The Ministry of Defence and Veterans' Affairs offers a number of benefits to veterans of the liberation struggle. 

These range from counselling services to financial assistance and the provision of housing.

Our news team caught up with two veterans who benefited from the Housing Provision Scheme in Kavango East Region.

A veteran is any person who was a member of the liberation forces or who consistently and persistently participated in or engaged in any political, diplomatic, or under-ground activity in furtherance of the liberation struggle.

The Namibia Student Financial Assistance Fund (NSFAF) will trace 3,638 unidentified beneficiaries through the Ministry of Home Affairs, Immigration, Safety, and Security.

Acting CEO Kennedy Kandume could not, however, confirm the exact amount owed to the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Public Accounts.

The committee questioned how the Fund could grant funds to individuals without identity documents, to which Kandume replied that this was the system they found.

He added that this was no longer the case at the Fund.
