Swapo Party Vice President and presidential candidate Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah says poverty alleviation, hunger, and drought interventions are receiving attention from the government, which has set a budget of N$825 million for the drought programme for 2024-2025.

Swapo Party Vice President and presidential candidate, Dr. Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah, said the government, through the party leadership, continues to make great strides in the provisions of education, health services, and overall development in the Kunene Region. 

Minister of Sport, Youth, and National Service, Agnes Tjongarero, has inaugurated four agriculture projects at the National Youth Service Centre in Rietfontien in the Otjozondjupa Region.

Some residents of the Omatjete settlement in the Erongo Region have petitioned the Zeraeua Traditional Authority against alleged unfair interferences in youth employment in mines and projects in the area.

The Otjiwarongo Municipality says it will continue working hard to address road maintenance as it remains a vital component of infrastructure development for the town's thriving economy.

Members of the Mine Workers Union of Namibia (MUN) Northern Region branch have been cautioned to steer clear of tribalism and internal conflicts. This warning was issued by the union's Acting Vice President, Mbidhi Shavuka, during the 13th Northern Regional Biennial Conference held in Tsumeb. 

The Otjiwarongo Municipality has entered into an agreement with the National Housing Enterprise (NHE) as part of its formalisation of five informal settlements.

The agreement will see the council issuing 2,605 landhold titles to build houses.

The Central Northern Regional Electricity Distributor (CENORED) has issued a last-minute warning to households within their area of operations of the looming deadline of the cut-off dates of households upgrading their prepaid electricity meters with a token identifier.

Otjozondjupa Education Deputy Director, Uerivangera Tjivikua, stated that while the region has achieved success in adult literacy and skills development programs, the initial targeted population has limited access to the program.

Police in the Otjozondjupa Region have raised concerns about the increasing cases of suicide. They are now appealing to the public going through problems and challenges to seek help instead of taking their own lives.

The concern follows after police recorded three suicides of security forces in one week.
