The Namibia Agricultural Union (NAU) says most farmers are faced with severe forage scarcity due to the poor rainfall experienced this year. 

Speaking to nbc News, the union's Marketing and Public Relations Officer, Tanja Dahl, says the situation is expected to get worse as the normal dry season is setting in.

Dahl says there is a shortage of forage, and farmers are faced with the dilemma of how to keep their animals alive during these dry times. 

Authorities in the Omaheke Region have warned commercial farm owners against unfair labour practices and the eviction of farm workers.

The councillor for the Okorukambe constituency in the region, Rocco Nguvauva, issued the warning after he was denied access to some commercial farms in the constituency.
