The Mineworkers Union of Namibia's Northern Region has re-elected Mathew Mberiuana as Chairperson for another two-year term.

Mberiuana has held the position since 2016.

Re-elected mayor Risto Kapendah says the demand for land at Arandis has become urgent because the town has become one of the fastest-growing centres in the Erongo Region.

All office-bearers at the Nkurenkuru Town Council have been re-elected.

Mayor Marcus Muti was re-elected for the second term, deputized by Fani Kaundu.

Muti says Nkurenkuru will continue to implement socio-economic development programs aimed at enhancing the well-being of its residents.

Gabriel Kanyanga was re-elected unopposed as mayor of Rundu for the second term.

Four of the seven councilors in the town council are from the Swapo Party.

Kanyanga said he accepts the challenge to lead the council with humility.
