Vice President Netumbo Nandi Ndaitwah has inaugurated a 20-hectare crop and vegetable community garden in Outjo that is to be a key player in the agricultural sector in the Kunene Region, amidst the challenges of drought spells and food insecurity at household levels.

Initiated in August 2019, with the first production only taking place in January this year, the N$5 million-valued Harambe-Oyetu community garden will be operating on a commercial basis under the terms of the Green Scheme Policy.

The Chinese General Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Namibia hosted a celebration to mark the 2024 Chinese Spring Festival, welcoming the Year of the Dragon and expressing hopes for prosperity and good fortune in the coming year.

The event, held in Namibia, brought together Chinese and Namibian communities for a festive evening. 

The Chinese Spring Festival is a holiday with many entertaining activities for people of all ages, such as performing dragon dances, grand fireworks displays, street festivals, crafts, parties, live music, and many other entertaining events.

The Chinese Ambassador to Namibia, Zhao Weiping, and Hardap Governor Salomon April discussed possible cooperation in agriculture, social housing, and education to improve the lives of the inhabitants.

They deliberated on these when Weiping paid a courtesy call on the governor.
