Members of the sixth National Council held their farewell event on Wednesday, where they took a moment to reflect on their achievements and growth over the past five years.

The event coincided with the launch of the sixth National Council Legacy Report.

A rainstorm left a trail of destruction in its wake, damaging houses and structures and uprooting trees in Katima Mulilo and the surrounding areas.

The storm that hit on Tuesday caused widespread damage to homes in Mafuta, Namalubi, and Lisikili.

The Minister of Health and Social Services, Esperance Luvindao, has said provision will be made for persons with mental health conditions to be involuntarily admitted if an application is made by a social worker or family member.

The High Court will deliver its ruling on the 18th of November in the interlocutory matter in which Bernadus Swartbooi wants Germany to be joined to a case in which he seeks a declaration by Namibia and Germany to be nullified.

The Ministry of Health and Social Services has reaffirmed that it is making rehabilitation and assistive technology services available across the country.

Currently such services are offered free of charge only at seven hospitals.
