Sewage water is said to be flowing into the hostel kitchen of the Omega Combined School, in the Kavango East Region, whenever the septic tank is full.

Hostel Matron Eveline Masule says the situation poses a serious health hazard.

The Andara District Environmental Health Officer has recommended the closure of the Omega Combined School until the flooding sewerage system is rectified.

Francois Mulonda assessed the situation at the school and found that it was a health hazard to the learners.
