The San community at Tsintsabis no longer wants to be associated with their recognised status as marginalised. The community has made a plea for jobs and training opportunities to be considered on par with citizens elsewhere in the country.

Young people from the settlement took to the streets in protest against a lack of opportunities for them, with Mario Ipinge, who led the group, saying the Hai||om and other San tribesmen continue to be left out, even from initiatives implemented at constituency level.

The war in Ukraine has led to escalating food and commodity prices, affecting access to food by vulnerable communities in Namibia. The country's economy is highly dependent on food imports, with over 60% of Namibia's food imported annually; hence, combined with the effects of COVID-19 and climate-induced shock, the country is facing an eminent food crisis, especially with vulnerable communities.

To this effect, the World Food Programme (WFP), in collaboration with the government of Japan, launched a Food Voucher Program at Tsintsabis in the Oshikoto Region.
