The "Minister of Finance Gets His Hands Dirty with the Youth" campaign kicked off at Green Leaves Primary School in Okahandja Park today.

Hunger and a lack of parental care are said to have driven many children in Windhoek's Okahandja Informal Settlement to the streets.

But the end results aren't pleasing.

Some schools in the capital are doing all they can to accommodate children attending school.

One such is the Green Leaves Primary School, situated in one of the city's most populated informal settlements, Okahandja Park.

A case of arson and an alternative charge of murder were opened at the Wanaheda Police Station against a 30-year-old woman who set a shack alight at Windhoek's Okahandja Park, resulting in the deaths of her boyfriend and a female companion.

The gruesome incident happened early this morning.
