The |Khomas Education Director, Paulus Nghikembua, says improved NSSCO and NSSCAS performances are the result of a deliberate strategy, including induction at schools, heads of departments, principals, and teachers.

The results, Nghikembua says, are representative of quality education, teaching, and learning.

Nghikembua says they are prepared for the new school year, though he adds that there is still a need for capacity building among teachers to ensure the standard of education is upheld.

This, he says, requires collective effort.

The |Khomas regional council has reacted to the call by Dordabis residents by dispatching boots on the ground to fix the broken-down water infrastructure.

The small community of the settlement embarked on a land-grabbing spree on Thursday before a physical fight broke out due to illegal water connections, which resulted in the breakage of water pipes and underground cylinders.

On Friday, the mood of the residents was different from the violent one exhibited the day before.

A staggering number of reported child abuse cases are piling up at the offices of the Ministry of Gender Equality, Poverty Eradication and Social Welfare (MGEPESW).

Deputy Minister Bernadette Jagger says her ministry continues to collaborate with stakeholders, particularly the police and the prosecution, to ensure that victims receive the required care.

Within its limited human resources structure, Jagger says her ministry has managed to second social workers to the gender-based violence protection units in the |Khomas , Kavango East, Oshana, and Kunene regions.
