PowerCom inaugurated a new tower in Windhoek's Goreangab residential area.

The Minister of Information and Communication Technology, Dr. Peya Mushelenga, who presided over the tower's launch, emphasised its alignment with the Harambee Prosperity Plan's infrastructure development goals.

This tower's completion underscores the commitment to expanding access to information and communication technology, recognising its vital role in driving economic growth.

Dr. Mushelenga stressed that IT services and facilities are now a necessity, not a luxury, in today's society.

The past few weeks have been steeped in extremely cold weather and strong winds. So much so that residents in the informal settlements feared for their lives and businesses.

40-year-old Jacobine Handjamba from Havana Settlement in Windhoek was among those fearing for her livelihood.

She managed to navigate the cold and windy weather to ensure that her business carried on.

The mother of five, who sells kapana for a living, narrates how the cold and windy weather affected her and her children, especially during the nights.
