A farmer in the Kunene Region is urging individuals and organisations in the public and private sectors to invest in agricultural projects, highlighting farming's crucial role in food security and sustainable development.

Some 68,000 people in the Kunene Region have benefited from the IREMA Livestock Revolving Scheme Project, designed to boost household income and food security.

Implemented in Fransfontein, Sesfontein, and Warmquelle, the six-year initiative, valued at N$164 million, wrapped up last year.

The Fransfontein community has revived horticulture production through a 16-hectare community garden now under full production.

To improve livelihoods in the Fransfontein area of the Kunene Region, the Environmental Investment Fund (EIF) of Namibia and the Ministry of Agriculture, Water, and Land Reform built a mini desalination plant at the Petrusfontein farm, about 30 kilometres from the settlement in the mountains. 

The Minister of Home Affairs, Immigration, Safety and Security (MHAISS), Lucia Iipumbu, has urged employees across the Ministry to strengthen service delivery and put citizens at the centre of their work.

The International Training College has partnered with the Miss Namibia Organization and the Namibian Broadcasting Corporation to empower pageant contestants beyond the stage through education and development.

Thirty-two community health workers from the |Khomas Health Directorate were empowered to strengthen their individual contributions to community-based healthcare. 

Miss World Namibia has awarded businessman Usko Nghaamwa with the Best Philanthropy Award 2025. 

This, they say, is for his long-standing and impactful contributions to community development, education and youth empowerment. 

Six people have died in road accidents over the weekend, according to police information.
 
The police's weekend report also features violent crimes, including armed robberies, rape, and murder.
