One of the major social ills affecting Namibians, according to the Gambling Board of Namibia, is gambling addiction.

Director of Health and Social Services, Sandra Owoses, highlighted this at a training workshop at Swakopmund aimed at equipping social workers with skills to tackle gambling addiction.

The Community Skills Development Foundation (COSDEF) has recommitted itself to continue imparting skills to Namibians, especially youth and women.

COSDEF is the umbrella body, managing at least eight centres in the country.
