The Swapo Party has reaffirmed its commitment to addressing the social challenges facing the country, particularly in rural communities.

The Omaheke Regional Council, in partnership with the Ministry of Agriculture, Water, and Land Reform, has commenced the drilling of water boreholes in seven villages in the Otjombinde Constituency.

Parts of Karibib, Walvis Bay Rural, and the Daures constituencies are still facing water shortages.

The Education Director in the Omusati Region, Benny Eiseb, is concerned about water shortages being experienced at a number of schools in the region.

Eiseb informed the Prime Minister, who was in the region to assess service delivery, that 40 schools in the region were facing water shortages.
