 Education Inspector for Katima Mulilo Circuit, Rosco Lukubwe, said the school closure will allow the Works Department and Town Council to unblock the system.

Hostel learners at Caprivi Senior Secondary School boycotted lunch at the dining hall this afternoon after sewage infested the path from the hostel.

They claim that the ongoing issue, unresolved for over three years, poses health risks.

Ten learners from Abraham Iyambo Primary School received their school uniforms through a back-to-school programme.

The initiative aims to assist learners from vulnerable households in the community, with hopes to boost the learners' morale and keep them engaged in school.

To help boost learning outcomes for vulnerable school-going children, Hangala Foods has donated bags of maize meal to two school feeding programmes at Otavi.
