The Chairperson of the Otjinene Village Council, Lesley Kauandara, says plans to have the village graduate into a fully-fledged town council in 2025 are on track.

Kauandara shared this in an exclusive interview with the nbc News team at Otjinene.

According to Kauandara, Otjinene has the potential to become a town council given the council's targets in land delivery to aid with developing the village with assistance from key partners.

The Chairperson added that housing provision and new businesses coming on board are a great leap for Otjinene.
