A five-year memorandum of agreement to assist with rehabilitating and upgrading roads in Katima Mulilo was signed between the Katima Mulilo Town Council, Road Fund Administration and Roads Authority.

The town council's Chief Executive Officer Rafael Liswaniso said the long-awaited development would not only transform the town but also bring economic growth.

The governments of Namibia and Botswana say the objective of the Memorandum of Agreement is to establish a legal framework within which the two countries shall conduct their relationship and set out the modalities of cooperation in relation to the facilitation of cross-border travel using National Identity Cards between them.

The MoU was signed today along the Trans-Kalahari/Mamuno common border in the east.
