The leadership of the Rundu Town Council says much of the town's prosperity is attributed to the business community.

A fundraising dinner was held ahead of the Rundu Trade Fair, which takes place later this month.

Rundu is considered one of the fastest-growing towns in Namibia, and the town council says it is becoming increasingly difficult to keep up with some of the demands.

The three-day 'Unmatched Youth Conference' concluded today at Nkurenkuru in the Kavango West Region.

99 youth participants from the Kavango West Region's eight constituencies participated in the conference.
 
Themed 'Awaken your unmatched potential', the event started on Monday and ran for a period of three days.

During the closing session, the Deputy Minister of Sport, Youth, and National Service, Emma Kantema-Gaomas, said her Ministry was passionate about youth development and applauded the organisers for creating the platform.
