Residents of Neu Sommerau resettlement farm near Kombat are calling on the government to improve their roads as children get stuck when they walk in the mud on the way to school during the rainy seasons.

The Neu Sommerou resettlement farm has been in existence since 2003.

Although the population on the farm has increased over the years, there is a lack of some basic services, with the lack of proper roads being most concerning.

The Minister of Health and Social Services, Dr. Kalumbi Shangula, has called on health centres not to allow challenges that require immediate solutions to persist, saying some minor issues do not need to go through the bureaucratic system for approval to be corrected.

Dr. Shangula made these remarks at Omatako Clinic, where he concluded his visits to health facilities in the Otjozondjupa Region.

The team, including the regional health management, visited the health facilities in Okakarara, Grootfontein, Etunda, Otavi, and Kombat.
