The Stampriet Aquifer Uranium Association remains adamant that the proposed mining activity on one of the aquifers that contains abundant and precious water should not continue as planned by the Uranium One group.

The association presented their scientific findings through a geologist, Dr. Roy Miller, to the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Natural Resources, Economic, and Public Administration at Leonardiville in the Aminuis Constituency.

Aminuis Constituency Councillor, Peter Kazongominja has urged traditional authorities to act as guardians of the community, even when it comes to stock-theft-related matters, as most culprits are among them.

Kazongominja made this remark at a stakeholders engagement at Corridor 13, where traditional leaders and the regional council discussed escalating stock theft in and around Corridor 13.

It is reported that, to date, farmers have lost close to 100 livestock since the beginning of the year in that vicinity.

The Ovaherero Traditional Authority group, led by Professor Mutjinde Katjiua, has tasked the Chief Council to establish a task force committee to investigate livestock theft and alleged unsanctioned mining activities in communal areas.

These are some of the resolutions taken at its meeting at Toasis in the Aminuis Constituency.

The Bakgalagadi community met in the Aminuis Constituency to, among other things, discuss the succession plan following the death of their Chief Tidimalo Ditshabue about three years ago.

It was agreed that a list of possible candidates be compiled and that an election date be set before the end of August.

According to Senior Traditional Councillor Norman Baumakwe of the Bakgalagadi community, this is the second meeting held after the death of Chief Tidimalo Ditshabue.
