The residents of Uuvudhiya and Oluthalweegolo Villages in the Oshana Region welcomed the revival of the Olushandja-Uuvudhiya canal, which now provides much-needed water to the community and the surrounding areas.

While this is a welcome development, residents are concerned about the lack of sufficient grazing land for their thousands of livestock.

The canal, which connects villages across the Oshana, Omusati, and Oshikoto regions, was revamped to address the long-standing water scarcity.
