The leader of the Oukwanyama Traditional Authority, Martha Ya Nelumbu, is urging eligible voters to participate in the ongoing registration process for new voters' cards. 

Ohamba Ya Nelumbu says those in her area of jurisdiction and beyond should note that it's imperative to participate in the country's electoral processes. 

The 94-year-old matriarch was among the elders who woke up early, bracing the cold breeze to make sure they got new voter cards. 

Residents of Oikuku and Ohamukwata villages in the Ohangwena Region now have access to potable water after three decades of waiting.

The project is being carried out by the Ministry of Agriculture, Water, and Land Reform and the Office of the Prime Minister at a cost of N$3.6 million.

Ohangwena Governor Sebastian Ndeitunga urged beneficiaries to use water wisely and guard against vandalism.

The borehole can supply water to seven water points, cutting the long distances villagers had to travel in search of water.
