Deputy Prime Minister John Mutorwa has warned those selling food meant for drought relief that such acts are tantamount to crime.

Police Commander for the Kavango West Region, Commissioner Julia Sakuwa-Neo, says the police have not reacted to transport requests for drought relief with the required urgency. 

Kavango West regional leadership has called on the Disaster Risk Management Committee to look into the drought relief programme for livestock, as it disadvantages some communal farmers.
