About 80% of the beneficiaries who received hippo water rollers in Otjiwarongo's informal settlement last year have started backyard gardens.

Besides just the benefits of no longer having to carry water containers on their heads, the Ombili residents, who benefited from the donation of hippo water rollers in March last year, have started their own gardens.

This, they say, is due to the fact that fetching water is no longer a challenge as they can roll their 25-litre containers back and forth.

Erongo Red and MTC have signed an agreement to boost digital transformation, artificial intelligence, and innovation.

At the signing ceremony in Walvis Bay, Erongo Red's Chief Executive Officer described MTC as a digital enabler for the public sector.

Tino !Hanabeb believes MTC will be able to support electrification and mitigate Erongo Red's challenges, which include access to electricity, theft, and revenue collection.
