Financial instability, compounded by low economic growth, is the biggest challenge facing municipalities in southern Africa. 

The South African Local Governance Association President, Stofile Bheke, said this while addressing attendees at the Local Economic Development Indaba held at Luderitz. 

The Association of Local Authorities in Namibia organised the four-day Indaba to examine and explore practical ways that local authorities can expand their revenue streams.

The National Assembly has adopted a motion addressing the inclusion of Namibian former mine workers in southern Africa for compensation.

The motion was moved by Swapo Party MP Sebastiaan Karupu, who urged the house to directly adopt the motion to avoid referrals to the standing committee, citing potential delays and resource constraints.

The San people will be holding their first edition of the San Cultural Festival in Gobabis at Legare Stadium from November 2 to 5.

The festival is aimed at displaying the San people's culture.

The festival is a way to preserve San people's culture by displaying and passing it on to the youth.

The San people's culture is the oldest in Southern Africa.

They are known hunter-gatherers and live on wild berries, wild potatoes, wild animals through hunting, and other fruits from nature.
