The abandonment of the construction of Onanghulo Clinic in the Ohangwena Constituency is depriving the residents of health services.
Many years have passed, and residents still travel long distances to health facilities.
The construction site was handed over in 2016, and the clinic was scheduled for completion in 2018.
The contractor abandoned the project after performing poorly, resulting in the termination of the contract.
More than N$400,000 was raised at the Oshakati Totem Expo gala dinner to raise funds for the event's success in December.
The Oshakati Totem Expo began in 2012 but was halted in 2022 due to COVID-19.
Oshakati Town Mayor Leonard Hango was hopeful the totem expo's return would result in a bigger and better event than ever before.
Some of the funds raised at the gala dinner will be used to build a permanent structure for the annual hosting of the event, while the venue will be used to host various other events in the town as well.
Family members, friends, neighbours, and government officials flocked to the homestead of the late former Namibian Ambassador to Botswana, Hadino Hishongwa, who died on Friday morning.
The founding member of Swapo and former Namibian politician was born at Odibo Village in the Ohangwena Region, but settled in Onekwaya-West in the same region.
Josua Ndemuweda described his uncle as a unifier, peacemaker, and family organiser who loved to bring family members together.
The Ohangwena Regional Council has disputed allegations that it deliberately abandoned the Eenhana Constituency office building.
This follows the circulation of a video on social media that exposed the dilapidated and abandoned building, causing an uproar among citizens nationwide.
The four-minute clip shows the sorry state of the building, which cost the government N$1.4 million in construction costs.
The building, inaugurated in 2008, previously accommodated the Eenhana Constituency's officials.
NamWater has removed a wall that was built by individuals at Omuthitugwaamalwa Village to divert or privatise water.
The wall interrupted water flow from Olushandja Dam's south wall outlet into the Etaka-Uuvudhiya canal for some 130 kilometres.
The drought had left livestock without water in the Oshana and Omusati regions following poor rainfall.
Namwater then started last week to pump water as a measure of relief for livestock.
Some community members, however, build walls to divert the water from the canal for themselves.
NamWater started pumping water from Olushandja Dam's South wall outlet into the Etaka-Uuvudhiya canal 130 kilometres away.
The water will benefit livestock that are affected by drought in the Oshana and Omusati regions.
This year, the governors of Oshana, Omusati, and Oshikoto regions took a trip to Olushandja Dam and the Etaka canal and requested NamWater pump water from Olushandja Dam into the Etaka canal in response to the water crisis.
