A 7-year-old grade 1 learner died after he was run over by a minivan at the Otjiwarongo dump site on June 14, 2023.

Otto Ameb’s death was confirmed by Otjozondjupa Regional Community Liaison Officer, Inspector Maureen Mbeha.

Young girls at Otjiwarongo say a lack of support from families in meeting their daily needs renders them vulnerable.

Girls from Orwetoveni Primary School celebrated Girl Child Day at Otjiwarongo.
