The diversion of the construction of the new school at Ndama informal settlement has left community members unhappy.

They are now calling on the Ministry of Education, Arts, and Culture to further investigate the matter.

Following the relocation of the school from Ndama East to Ndama West, which was the initial site of construction approved by the town council, Governor Bonifatius Wakudumo announced on nbc News that the school would be built at Ndama East.

This change of plan left the community wondering what could have led to the change of heart.

The Chairperson of the Kavango East Regional Youth Forum, Moses Sikerete, has called on the Ministry of Education, Arts, and Culture to give the leadership enough time to come up with a solution to the dispute around the construction of a new school in Rundu's Ndama Informal Settlement.

This comes after the ministry requested that the leadership find a solution to the matter before July 23.

The Education Ministry agreed to fund the construction of the school, as a means to decongest the old Ndama School, where the junior and combined schools are presently accommodated.

The Chairperson of the Kavango East Regional Council, Damian Maghambayi, says the impasse on where a new school in Rundu's Ndama Informal Settlement should be constructed has been resolved.

The community of Ndama West demanded the school be constructed in their area as originally planned because the area does not have a single school.

Maghambayi says wherever the school is constructed, be it in Ndama South or Ndama West, its location will be beneficial to all residents.
