Prime Minister Saara Kuugongelwa-Amadhila handed over a borehole to the residents of Epembe Constituency's Ohamutwe-Tautende Village in the Ohangwena Region.

The project was funded by the Ministry of Agriculture, Water, and Land Reform to the tune of N$2.7 million.

Some schools in the Epembe Constituency of the Ohangwena Region are currently affected by water shortages.

Limbandungila Combined School has been without water for over two months.

The school usually relies on water tankers, but their capacity does not meet the demand.

75-year-old Ngheendati Mwashindange, who was born at Ohakafiya Village in the Epembe constituency of the Ohangwena Region in 1949, has returned home after five decades.

Mwashindange left his father's homestead at the age of 26 in 1975 to look for contract work in Ondangwa.
