A veteran of the liberation struggle, Mathew Shivute, from Amaupa Village in the Omusati Region, has appealed to the Ministry of Veterans Affairs to speed up the payment of their projects.

Shivute argued that some of the veterans are ageing and want to benefit from the project during their lifetime.

Well known as Mzee, Shivute retired about seven years ago as an operations manager for state security.

Shivute spent 12 years in exile, and upon Namibia's independence, he secured a job at State House.
