Should everything go according to the Electoral Commission of Namibia's plans, residents of the Moses ||Garoeb constituency in Windhoek will have a newly elected regional councillor by this Friday.

President Hage Geingob has paid tribute to the late Councillor of Moses ||Garoeb Constituency, Aili Venonya, saying the SWAPO Party and Namibia have lost a great leader who served her people diligently.

Venonya died on Sunday, aged 59, following a battle with cancer.
