On the first anniversary of the late President Hage Geingob's death, his family remembers him as a family man.

Geingob would, on Family Day, invite family members to his farm near Otavi.

This time it was different, though, given his absence.

Otavi is one of the constituencies in the Otjozondjupa Region, leading in general voter registration at 91% by the 27th.

With voter registration ending Thursday, a few activities were happening.

The Otjozondjupa Regional Electoral Officer, Victoria Amutenya, says only 148 out of the 204 trainees will be appointed as registration officials in the Otjozondjupa Region. 

General voter registration is scheduled to start on June 3 and last until August 1.

Following the deaths of two children out of 12 diagnosed with malnutrition in Otavi earlier this year, the town's mayor, Isaac !Hoaeb, together with the Namibia Housing Action Group, started training residents of the Kap-en-Bou housing project on gardening and nutritional values.

Otavi Constituency Councillor George !Garab says a portion of the resettlement farm, Neu Sommerau, must be incorporated into Kombat Settlement.

This, he said, would allow residents on the resettlement farm to acquire proper residential plots.

A 28-year-old man charged with the murder of his biological son in Otavi made his first appearance before the town's magistrate court.

Thomas Muronga is accused of fatally injuring his two-year-old son, Jason Muronga.
