The National Unity Democratic Organisation (NUDO) says the party has a lot to do to improve its national-level rankings ahead of the November 2024 elections.

These are the views of party President Dr. Utjiua Muinjangue during a press briefing and welcome of new members at Okahitua Village in the Okakarara Constituency.

Dr. Muinjangue says the party is now hard at work to reach out to other regions to register non-Otjiherero-speaking members to increase its power base.

Otjozondjupa Regional Governor James Uerikua says there is a need to intensify linkages and add value to the devil's claw plant.

Uerikua made these remarks at a two-day training and certification workshop for 30 devil's claw harvesters from different conservancies in the Okakarara Constituency.

Namibia currently ranks as the world's largest exporter of Devil's Claw, with the market estimated at between 400 and 600 tonnes of annual exports.
