The donation drive is an initiative of the Learners Representative Council. 

Hunger and a lack of parental care are said to have driven many children in Windhoek's Okahandja Informal Settlement to the streets.

But the end results aren't pleasing.

The City Police held an engagement with the community of Okahandja Park following the observation of too many children roaming around the streets.

Many of the children from Okahandja Park walk to the Grove Mall in Kleine Kuppe, Town Square in the CBD, and other areas.

There, according to the City Police, they snatch people's handbags and beg for food and money.

Omaheke Police is working tirelessly to strengthen partnerships with community members in combatting crime such as housebreaking, assaults and theft.

Chairperson of the Kavango West Regional Council, Josef Sivaku Sikongo has called on staff members to serve the community with dedication.

Speaking at the regional council's general meeting at Nkurenkuru, Sikongo called those in public office to perform, so that residents may enjoy better service delivery.

He also called on the directorates to ensure all funds given to the region are utilized for their intended purpose and not sent back to the treasury at the end of the financial year.

Omusati Regional Commander of the Namibian Police, Commissioner Ismael Basson, says the relationship between the community and the police is critical in maintaining public safety and effective policing.

Basson held a meeting with the business community in the Omusati Region to discuss safety at their businesses and the importance of them reporting crime or unruly behavior at their premises.

A delegation led by Omaheke Governor Pijoo Nganate is in Zimbabwe on a benchmarking mission.

The delegation, among others, is hoping to gain some insight into how that country is dealing with unemployment through innovative technologies.

The delegation comprises the regional leadership and the farming community. 

Zimbabwe is one of the countries that has adopted and is innovating new technologies in order to increase productivity and create jobs.

Residents in Keetmanshoop raised concerns about alleged police brutality and, at times, slow police response during a meeting with Police Inspector General, Lieutenant-General Joseph Shikongo.

At the meeting, residents were given the opportunity to raise their concerns.

Community members say noise pollution, the mushrooming of shebeens, alcohol and drug abuse by young people, and the mugging of cell phones are also worrisome in the southern town.

Giving back to the communities in which one serves is an essential component of any corporate organisation. This was among the sentiments shared by Revonia Job, Corporate Social Investment Manager at the First Rand Group, during a media engagement held in Windhoek.

First Rand, the holding company of First National Bank, Rand Merchant Bank, Firstrand Corporate Centre, and others, has invested millions of dollars into education, community and health development, as well as skills and capacity building, arts and culture, and sports development.
