The Ministry of Environment, Forestry, and Tourism (MEFT) has handed over 20 boreholes, constructed at various locations in the country's north, to the Ministry of Agriculture.

The government has allocated N$2.8 million to all 14 regions of the country towards the hosting of regional memorial services. 

Each region received N$200,000.

So far, the Oshana, Hardap, and Kunene regions have hosted their memorial services.

NamWater started pumping water from Olushandja Dam's South wall outlet into the Etaka-Uuvudhiya canal 130 kilometres away.

The water will benefit livestock that are affected by drought in the Oshana and Omusati regions.
