Namibia's Vice-President, Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah, reaffirmed the government’s commitment to improving lives through infrastructure development during the inauguration of the new Home Affairs and Immigration office in the ||Kharas Region.

Speaking at the event, Nandi-Ndaitwah emphasized the importance of bringing services closer to the people, ensuring no one is left behind.

"By bringing services closer to the people, we ensure true unity in diversity, where all Namibians live together in harmony. The Swapo Party-led government has been delivering infrastructure across the country, from roads and offices to schools, health facilities, and access to water, electricity, and communication networks. This ensures equal treatment for all communities, helping people appreciate and protect our hard-won independence."

The new regional office will provide essential national documents and strengthen immigration control.

Nandi-Ndaitwah also highlighted the significance of registering births at hospitals to prevent future cases of undocumented individuals.

“It’s our national responsibility to ensure that all children born in Namibia are registered. Parents, especially mothers, must make sure they obtain a birth certificate before leaving the hospital,” she urged.

The Vice-President also reminded staff to deliver efficient and high-quality service to the public.

||Kharas Governor Aletha Frederick echoed these sentiments, stating,

"As we open the ||Kharas Regional Office, let’s remember it is not just an office but a beacon of hope for our communities—a place where safety, accessibility, and empowerment by the government are prioritized."

The Minister of Home Affairs, Immigration, Safety, and Security, Albert Kawana, was also present at the ceremony.
