Deputy Prime Minister Natangwe Ithete is in the northern regions of Namibia to assess the flood situation that displaced people and trapped some in their houses while some mahangu fields and roads are submerged and damaged.

Livestock farmers were advised to prioritize their animals' health to maximize productivity and sustain their livelihoods.

The remarks were made during a farmers' day event for local livestock farmers in Ondangwa, Oshana Region.

The hopes of many crop farmers in the Ohangwena region for a successful harvest have been dashed due to floods from Angola that have partially submerged their mahangu fields.

Residents, including children from Ohangwena Region's Onamhinda village, were relocated to higher grounds after their houses and mahangu fields were submerged by floodwaters from southern Angola.

Massive floodwaters from southern Angola hit northern Namibia on April 1, following heavy rainfall in the neighbouring country.

NamPower has issued a warning to the public and tourists to avoid the Kunene River, stressing that no one should attempt to swim in it due to the high risk of drowning.  

Employees of the Eland Group in the Omusati Region, along with former Information Minister Joel Kaapanda, participated in cultivating the Uukwaluudhi Traditional Authority's mahangu field in the Tsandi constituency.

Twenty-eight Junior Primary teachers in the Ohangwena Region received training in numeracy and ethno-mathematics.

This training was funded by Lutheran University Tacoma, Washington, through the Uukumwe Project, a collaboration between educators from Namibia and the U.S.

Heavy rainfall and floodwaters have trapped many people in their homes and cattle posts in Uuvudhiya, located in the Oshana Region.
