Otjiwarongo-based charity organisation Omake raised N$20,000 at a fundraising dinner in pledges towards the establishment of a safe place for vulnerable children and people with disabilities.

The construction of the centre is estimated to cost more than N$3 million.

The Omake Charity Organisation was founded in 2018 with the vision to establish a stay-in welfare and disability centre that will cater for more than 100 people and a soup kitchen to feed vulnerable children.

B2Gold Namibia and the Otavi Town Council recently treated senior citizens and people with disabilities to an early Christmas lunch in the town.

The birth of Jesus Christ is usually celebrated by Christians all over the world, with families getting together, feasting, and opening presents.

For some, holidays like Christmas pass like any other day, with all the regular struggles. 

B2Gold Namibia has, over the past eight years, made it a tradition to make the holiday season memorable for Otavi's senior citizens and for people living with disabilities.

Labour, Industrial Relations and Employment Creation Minister Utoni Nujoma say his Ministry is doing all it can to resolve a labour dispute at the B2Gold Namibia mine.

Delivering a ministerial statement in the National Assembly on Tuesday, Nujoma stressed that tripartite talks between the Ministry, the Mineworkers' Union (MUN) and the workers have already been held and more negotiations will continue to find a lasting solution to the impasse.
