The Amarok Club in Namibia donated sanitary products and food items worth N$15 000 to the Hope Home-Based Health Care (HHBHC), a non-profit organization based in Tsumeb.

To give due care and support to people living with disabilities, the Ministry of Health and Social Services has launched a Hope Home-Based Health Care Centre as well as a mobile clinic at Tsumeb.

In most cases, people with disabilities require assistance that not everyone can offer.

President Hage Geingob says the contribution of the late Susan Nghidinwa, the first black Mayor of Tsumeb, towards the independence and advancement of women will never be forgotten.

Dr Geingob said this in his message of condolences to the family of the late Nghidinwa.

The memorial service for the first black mayor of Tsumeb, Susan Nghidinwa, will be held on Wednesday at the Inner City Lutheran congregation in Windhoek.

Nghidinua died last week, aged 85.
