The community of Tsumkwe celebrated the official launch of a local cleaning campaign. The project, run under the theme of "Our Trash, Our Responsibility, Let's Keep Tsumkwe Clean", is funded by the US-based NGO Palms for Life.

Residents of Grashoek in the Tsumkwe Constituency of the Otjozondjupa Region are in need of electricity as well as land for livestock farming.

The residents told nbc News that the lack of electricity denies them education opportunities and impedes social progression.
