Malnutrition cases continue to be reported almost on a daily basis in the Omaheke Region.

Since the beginning of December 2023, the region has recorded 78 new malnutrition cases.

Alcohol abuse and negligence of children by parents are some of the key contributing factors.

The Chairperson of the Otjinene Village Council, Lesley Kauandara, says plans to have the village graduate into a fully-fledged town council in 2025 are on track.

Kauandara shared this in an exclusive interview with the nbc News team at Otjinene.
