The Minister of Education, Sanet Steenkamp, has visited the Zambezi Region to assess the impact of flooding on the education sector.

Dr. Steenkamp visited the affected Nankutwe Combined and Namiyundu Primary Schools, as well as the relocation centres at Lusese and Schumansburg Combined School.

Flashfloods continue to affect more people at Katima Mulilo as heavy rains persist and malaria cases surge in the Zambezi Region.

Sixty-one households have been relocated to temporary shelters since the beginning of the year.

The number is expected to rise as the rain persists.
