The Social Security Commission (SSC), through its development fund, has funded the Gebedplass San Self-Help Project at Otjozohungu in the Otjombinde Constituency.
 
The project, which consists of dairy cows, welding, a vehicle, and an office, was set up at a cost of over N$1 million.

The Social Security Commission's Manager of the Development Fund, Olga Katjiuongua, emphasised that projects such as these come with the responsibility of ensuring that enough profit is made to address developmental challenges.

The need to make paternity leave part of the legal framework has received support from some Members of Parliament in the National Assembly, as has the extension of maternity leave.

The motion to extend maternity leave and introduce paternity leave was earlier tabled by the Popular Democratic Movement's (PDM) Winnie Moongo.

Landless People's Movement (LPM) Leader Bernadus Swartbooi and PDM's Maximalliant Katjimune also made their contributions to the discussion.
