Cabinet has approved the provision of an additional budget to make up for a shortfall in the National Emergency Disaster Fund to provide for more than 308,000 households under the government's drought relief programme.

The City of Windhoek has again postponed a meeting to elect two additional management committee members.

The meeting, scheduled for earlier Thursday afternoon, was postponed because there were no nominations for the two management committee members.

The meeting will now happen on February 8.
