The Otjiwarongo Mayor has pleaded for patience with residents, as the municipality is busy addressing damaged roads in the town. 

A combined debt of N$15 million owed by residents of Kalkfeld to the Otjozondjupa Regional Council has led to water cuts for those in arrears.

This was confirmed by Regional Council Chairperson Marlene Mbakera, who says the debt hampers service delivery and development in the settlement.

The Secretary for the Swapo Party Women's Council (SPWC), Fransina Kahungu, says there is a need for Namibian women to narrate their own stories and the role they have played in the development of the nation.

A quest for better living conditions is all but a dream for an elderly man living at Kalkfeld Settlement.

Despite having participated in political activities during the liberation struggle, his applications to be recognised as a war veteran have been denied since 2008.

A task team has been set up to investigate the need for desalination plants at villages in the Kunene Region to purify salty underground water amid a persistent drought in the area.

Residents of Tsumeb's largest informal settlements, Kuvikiland and Soweto, are demanding better living conditions and development.

This is the fifth time residents have taken to the streets and vowed to protest until their demands are met.

Kunene Governor Marius Sheya has warned against tribalistic remarks pitting the Damara and Nama tribesmen at Khorixas.

Sheya called out issues brewing at the Ward 9 communal area, where the locals are at loggerheads over alleged non-ancestral people being allocated plots to farm and residing there.

In a significant moment for the Fransfontein Settlement in the Kunene Region, a smooth transition of leadership is underway. 

Kunene Governor Marius Sheya says the government's drought mitigation programme has been a relief to the farmers.

Sheya was speaking at the handover of livestock, stoves, and water-softening borehole technologies at Khorixas auction kraal in the Kunene Region.

In the Otjozondjupa Region, pensioners at Kalkfeld gathered at the local sports field to remember the good deeds of the president.
