The Kavango West Regional Council has taken the initiative to empower its communities through diverse development programmes.

Learners at Katjinakatji Secondary School who walk more than 10 kilometres to and from school have to wait another year before the school hostel is completed.

The construction of the hostel has been on hold since last year.

The Kavango East and West regional councils are happy with the prospects of livestock marketing following the opening of the Rundu Abattoir.

The Meat Cooperation of Namibia's bid to manage the government abattoir was successful, and it is currently testing slaughter at the facility.

Chairperson of the Kavango West Regional Council, Josef Sivaku Sikongo has called on staff members to serve the community with dedication.
