The distribution of drought relief food in the Otjozondjupa Region's periurban areas is still moving at a snail's pace due to a lack of transport with only one truck in the region. 

Deputy Prime Minister John Mutorwa has thus asked the region to advertise its need for trucks.

Swapo Party Vice President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah called for concerted efforts to mitigate the drought situation experienced in some parts of the country due to low rainfall.
