The Oshakati Town Council has upgraded the Uukwangula Settlement to a township after acquiring the settlement from the Oshana Regional Council.

The township will now benefit from all municipal services. 

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.
