Some farming communities in the Aminuis Constituency bemoan a lack of grazing land and are appealing for assistance from the government.

Farming communities in Corridors say low rainfall has left farmers with little grazing.

One of them, Veenda Kamuhunga at Corridor 12, stated their livestock have multiplied, putting pressure on limited grazing areas. 

"At this point we are forced to buy grass, and it's expensive. Another thing I would like to request from our government is to come visit us to see how we are suffering; maybe we will get assistance."

"We are in a very difficult condition right now. As you might have seen, there is nothing in the field. If you take cattle out of the kraals here, they have to walk about 10-15 kilometres to another village for a little grass. There are already some cattle lying down here, and we need to lift them up because they are weak," added farmer Hosea Karitja.

Aminuis Constituency Councillor Isando Kavari said some parts of the constituency are severely affected, saying his office will engage the office of the Prime Minister to find ways on how to remedy the situation.

"The drought is there as you are approaching Aminuis from entering the gate from Gobabis villages. They are really facing severe drought. This is receiving rainfall which is below average, so this might have led to this, and even bush encroachment has contributed a lot regarding the drought, so we are in a dilemma now, and as an office, we are going to approach the office of the governor and submit a letter to address the issue or to enlighten him."

Kavari stated that movement restrictions have made it difficult for farmers to relocate their livestock.
