The Swakopmund Municipality has unveiled its new logo.

Chief Executive Officer Alfeus Benjamin says this marks a significant step in showcasing the town's identity and progress.

The new logo symbolises Swakopmund's place on the Namibian map, representing its growth and development on the African continent.

The unveiling ceremony, which was attended by town officials, residents, and stakeholders, highlighted Swakopmund's emergence as a vibrant hub within the Erongo Region and the wider SADC community.

It is evident that the government's social programmes are making an impact in the lives of many Namibians, of whom some could have otherwise been worse off without them.

In the Erongo Region, a total of 28,739 people receive government social grants monthly, and it is this number that the governor commended the government for during the State of the Region Address.

Namibia is one of a few countries in Africa with safety nets in place, such as social grants.

Stories from corners of the country indicate that many households depend on these safety nets.
