Omusati Governor Erginus Endjala has expressed concern over the low allocation of resettlement farms in his region.

In his State of the Region Address on Friday, Governor Erginus Endjala revealed that a total of 622 resettlement applications from Omusati were passed on to the Land Ministry. However, of all those, only one person received a favourable response.

This fact, he says, is a source of grey hair for him.

Omusati Governor Erginus Endjala says the poor rainfall experienced in the region has become worrisome for both crop and livestock farmers.

The situation, he says, has resulted in many northern communal farmers losing any hope for a bumper harvest this year.

The Omusati Governor says poor rainfall has left many communal farmers in ruin, especially those in western areas of the region.

According to Endjala, the area has not received significant rain since February 1st.
