The Otjinene community has lost a stalwart traditional leader and member of the Senior Traditional Council of the Ovaherero Traditional Authority, Usiel Kambirongo.

The 82-year-old Kambirongo died on the 5th of August after battling with a long illness.

The Otjinene Community has been recording an influx of people searching for opportunities.

They, however, end up in squatter camps with no jobs and sufficient food, where community gardens would be the only solution.
