The Swapo Party has reaffirmed its commitment to addressing the social challenges facing the country, particularly in rural communities.

The President's first stop was the Sikondo Green Scheme, situated in Kavango West Region.

The Popular Democratic Movement has donated water infrastructure worth N$75,000 to members of the Shack Dwellers Federation in Kavango West's Rupara Village. 

After constructing their houses in 2023, 32 members of the Shack Dwellers Federation had to source income to cater for their own water needs. 

The Popular Democratic Movement (PDM) has committed to investing 10% of Namibia’s national GDP in agriculture to uplift citizens’ livelihoods and ensure food security.

Popular Democratic Movement (PDM) presidential candidate and leader of the official opposition party, McHenry Venaani, promises to use 10% of the national GDP on agriculture if elected in power.

Venaani says this will create jobs and address hunger and poverty.

To address unemployment and poverty in the country, the Swapo Party is committed to setting aside N$500 million for the production of high-nutrition products if given another mandate.

This was said by the party's vice president, Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah, at a star rally held at Rundu on Saturday.

The school was established in 1984, with about 450 learners and 11 teachers.

It then catered to learners from grades one to four, accommodated in 10 classrooms.
