Government Institutions Pension Fund (GIPF) Chief Executive Officer Martin Inkumbi says the opening of the Ondangwa regional office is an important milestone in his instruction's commitment to taking services closer to its members, pensioners, annuitants, beneficiaries and stakeholders.

Kunene Governor Vipuakuje Muharruua has urged leaders to maintain a positive outlook and utilise their creativity to find solutions instead of resorting to criticism.

Muharukua made the call during the State of the Region Address delivered under the theme "Kunene region fast-tracking towards 2030".

Mourners are flocking to the homestead of the late Swapo stalwart and freedom fighter Kanana Hishoono at Onambutu village in the Eenhana Constituency, Ohangwena Region, to console the bereaved family and pay their last respects.

Hishoono died at age 89 on 14 January.
