The community of Epukiro has over the years faced numerous challenges, such as water shortages and poor grazing land due to persistent drought and poisonous plants. 

The Ovambanderu community is planning to commemorate 100 years of migration to Epukiro settlement in the Omaheke Region.

This was revealed by Chief Ebben Tjozongo Nguvauva of the Ovambanderu Traditional Authority at a media conference in Windhoek.

Omaheke Governor, Pijoo Nganate, is pleased with efforts being made by the residents of Ovinjuru Village in Epukiro, including the set up of modern infrastructure for a preprimary school, an adult education centre, and the community garden project.

A group of 16 doctors from the Hochland 154 Round Table are in the Epukiro Constituency, providing health-related services mostly targeting young mothers and senior citizens.

A group of medics aimed to assist 400 locals around Epukiro.

The late rains towards the end of March have left farmers doubting the survival of their farming enterprises.

On top of the late rains, farmers are unhappy with the rock-bottom prices they receive for their livestock at auctions. 

The first-ever Epukiro auction held in the Omaheke Region attracted more than 800 cattle, Epukiro Constituency Councillor Packy Pakarae revealed on Thursday at the official opening of the auction at Omauezonjanda.

Okorukambe Constituency Councillor Rocco Nguvauva is pleased with the progress made at the Epukiro RC to Epukiro Pos 3 phase two road construction.

The eight-kilometre-long phase-two bitumen road is expected to be completed next year.

Residents of Epukiro who have been connected to the electric grid have been urged to capitalise on it to better their lives.

The Minister of Works and Transport, John Mutorua, officially handed over a site for the construction of phase two of the road that will link the Okorukambe and Epukiro constituencies in the Omaheke Region.

Since the beginning of the year farming communities in the Epukiro Constituency have lost more than 170 livestock to thieves.
