The Kakurukouje Traditional Authority and the inhabitants of Etanga Village have commended the government for its efforts in ensuring that they have access to basic services.

One such development is the electrification of Etanga, considered a major development in the region.

Etanga Village is located about 210 kilometres west of Opuwo in the Epupa Constituency, where basic services have been a challenge for years.

A 35-year-old woman from Ombaka Village in the Epupa Constituency is gravely concerned over the future of her 16-year-old son, who suffers from haemophilia.

Haemophilia is a medical condition in which the ability of the blood to clot is severely reduced, causing the sufferer to bleed severely from even a slight injury.

This condition has caused the 16-year-old to drop out of school and not be able to do any chores.

Vakazapi Tjirambi said her son, Rando Mbinge, was diagnosed in 2013 at the age of six.
