Zambezi Region Governor, Alufea Sampofu, says despite below-average rainfall received in the region compared to previous years, there is a need to cultivate as many crop fields as possible.

Sampofu encourages all residents to ensure they put bread on the tables of their families.

The Zambezi Governor called on those living in the flood plains, especially in Kabbe South and North constituencies, to be on alert for annual floods.

He observed that, as the levels of the Zambezi River start to rise, people ensure they are not caught off guard.

The Chief of Uukwambi Traditional Authority, Ndilimani Iipumbu, and the Oshana Regional Governor, Elia Irimari, have joined forces to stop the illegal fencing of large areas of communal land, particularly grazing areas.

The governor, joined by various stakeholders, spoke about the issue during an engagement at the chief's residence in Onamega Village.

They have pledged to take decisive action against those engaging in fencing land, emphasising the importance of protecting valuable grazing resources for the benefit of the community.

Erongo Governor Neville Andre says despite commendable achievements in human rights and gender equality, Namibia still faces persistent challenges in terms of gender-based violence.

At least 32% of Namibian women are said to have experienced physical violence at the hands of an intimate partner at some point.

To remedy the situation, Andre plans to establish a regional gender-based violence (GBV) task team with different stakeholders on board.

Andre says GBV is the most pervasive yet least visible human rights violation in the world.

The newly appointed Ohangwena Regional Governor, Sebastian Ndeitunga, says he will adapt to the new political environment in this phase of his career and be a servant of the people.

Ndeitunga remarked this morning at Eenhana as he officially took office and met the regional leadership in his new role.

Namibian Police's former Inspector-General, Sebastian Ndeitunga, is the new Governor of the Ohangwena Region, effective tomorrow.

President Hage Geingob appointed Ndeitunga and relieved Walde Ndevashiya of his duties.

State House Press Secretary Dr. Alfredo Hengari made the announcement, stating that Ndeitunga is expected to ensure that all programmes and projects in the Ohangwena are fully implemented in line with the budgetary allocations.

The Governor of Kunene Region has implored all councils, business people, communities, and youth to participate in the opportunities and value chains being created by the new economic drivers.

Marius Sheya, who was speaking during the State of the Region Address, called for collective synergies as the region marches towards economic emancipation and creates pockets of hope for the locals.

The Office of the Governor in Otjozondjupa Region is hosting a two-day training workshop for all church leaders in the region.

The purpose of the workshop, titled 'Role of Church in Community Development',  is to equip church leaders with the necessary knowledge and skills for them to assist the government in carrying out its mandate effectively.

A church is a place of worship where people gather, predominantly on Sundays, for spiritual upliftment.

Given that Namibia is recognised as a Christian nation, a significant portion of the population attends church.
