A Namibian film that aims to tell the story of street children will premiere this Thursday at the Sterkinekor cinema at Grove Mall.

"Lukas," a film based on real-life stories of street kids in Windhoek, aims to create awareness and start a conversation about lasting solutions for children who live on the streets.

The film, by Ombetja Yehinga Organisation, conducted interviews with the street kids and developed a script based on their stories.

The hour-and-four-minute film involves about fifty actors depicting the real lives of those living on the streets.

Two brothers died instantly this morning following a freak accident in an earth dam at Eenhana in the Ohangwena Region. 

Preliminary investigations revealed that the two were part of a group of four men whose motor vehicle, a Toyota Hilux, was being reversed to the edge of the earth dam for the occupants to draw water and fill containers for their brick-making business when the car flipped and fell into the dam, being submerged within minutes.
